About this audiobook

Dante’s vision The Divine Comedy has profoundly affected every generation since it first appeared in the early fourteenth century. Here is a brief account of his life, compiled from various sources (including his first biographer, Boccaccio) by Benedict Flynn, whose new translation of the Comedy on Naxos AudioBooks, read by Heathcote Williams, has been widely acclaimed. It sets the known facts of Dante’s life against the turmoil of the times, and puts the very personal nature of his poetry into perspective.

    Not much is known about Dante's life but this book gives a good picture of the chaotic, squabbling times through which he lived, with some colourful anecdotes, possibly apocryphal, from Boccaccio and others.
