Description
The Paradiso concludes Simone's excellent translation of Dante's Commedia. Consistent with the previous two volumes, the translation is accurate and graceful, and Simone's introductions and apparatus provide a helpful entree to the text, especially for first-time readers who are one of its primary audiences.
- William Stephany, Professor Emeritus, University of Vermont

On Tom Simone's translation of Dante's Inferno: "Simone's translation is simply superb. Of all the translations with which I am familiar, this is the one that is the most faithful to what’s there in the Italian: no frills, no poetic sallies, no choosing a word because it brings the line closer to iambic pentameter—just unadulterated Dante with good old Anglo-Saxon words and in highly readable prose." —Peter Kalkavage, St. John's College
