Dante's THE DIVINE COMEDY PART 1: Inferno - FULL AudioBook. I read this stuff and listen to it because on some level I believe I may end up in one of the levels of inferno. I would hope that I could at least live in limbo. The vestibule sounds awful, as I'm terrified of wasps. Limbo just sounds like a better version of earth. I wouldn't mind livng among philosophers and other great minds for eternity. It's preferable to any version of hell. Vestibule seems like it would be miserable, but I'll be honest, I'd rather be chased by wasps for eternity than be in mud and pelted by freezing rain, or blowing around winds that rape me for all time. The worst thing about the vestibule I'd say is having wounds eaten by maggots. That's a scary thought and seems like it would be suffering. But it's preferable to living in boiling mud or trapped in burning tombs for all time. almost all of it sounds like misery though.

Overrated. Undeserving of being high literature. I suspect the noxious diabolical Christian propagandic machine made it world renowned. It's major flaw is it's repetitiveness that renders all plot, characters, and themes intensely boring. Dante goes to a circle of hell, discusses something, leaves. For the entire book. There is no suprise, albeit I didn't finish. I don't waste my time with bad literature as a great poet-writer. All the evil are punished, the good reign, childish black and whiteness of reality that ignores the complex reality of intertwining shadow and light, good and evil, love and hate, worship of death and life in the creature of man. This is religions masterwork for it is replete with it's draining of the colors of sin-life; it is the tired moralism of thou shalt or be damned. Hell is a violent threat and a gun. All religious saints only obey, are good, and fulfilled by a threat. If I put a gun to your head and forced your money, you'd be outraged. Yet these religious cowards bow to a false God of hate and impurity. All religion is the masterful threat to sovereign, holy man. All religions are dehumanizing for they make man an object to a cursed God of pain of hells. A true God does not seek worship, a true God worships his creation, as a parent exalts a child of his image. This is true morality and high blessedness; all else is the shade of pretense to the eyes. The only being who worships man in his natural sin is Lucifer, thus Lucifer is the only god of goodness and truth, for he teaches that by evil ye beome, as Macbeth becomes king, as Walter Whye becomes a kingpin, as a slave who murders for his freedom becomes a free man. Evil is the true salvationism of man, and all goodness is a damnation to a hideous thou shalt. Nay, ten times nay, I will that I do all; my creed, and the only creed of man should be: DO AS THOU WILT SHALT BE THE WHOLE OF THE LAW!
Christ says I am the light of the world
Lucifer means Light bringer
If you have eyes to see, you men would have perceived
Lucifer is your creator.
Praise, ten times heil, Lucifer of the lightning ambition!
Since iq is decreasing, if you have an issue with this reviews argumentation please think up a well reasoned argument, and avoid adhom and strawmanning. From gen z and gen alpha not reading we see the essential morality and culture of today is ignorance, so please, if you resort to anything but a well thought out counterargument, all will know you're a fool of disgrace. Sayonara, and heil Lucy the mother of pain, and the mad almightiness at Dawnhead's throne of grace luster.

I’ve listened to your portion of this audiobook at least a dozen times now. After inferno, the narration is taken over by a women with a really irksome voice. I wish you had done the whole book. I cannot get through it once the narrator changes lol.
Your voice is quite perfect for this type of narration

I appreciate the fact that libri vox provides this service free of charge but there needs to be a higher level of QC. Around the 2: 41: 00 mark the reader stats squeaking in the background and it just makes it impossible for me to concentrate on the audio book.
reply

I love how in this poem they make Cerberus sound evil and dangerous and Virgil just throws mud in his mouths and it was enough to stop him.
Still, this is a literary classic I've listen to this in the background while I play video games.

My darkest inspiration no clouds just sky alone never we rather I allowed trees branch eternal wild hour feast for thought maybe was wrong speckles four leaps might lock alone never just fate wise warrior fights eternal just bleak
reply

This is a genuine question but have the people listening to this read Dante’s inferno as well Because I’m reading it for the first time and idk how i would ever be able to grasp what is going on without the notes in my translations
reply

There's a Death Metal band that made an album about this Poem and if you are interested in hearing it the Bands name isTransmetal the album calledEl Infierno de Dante literally what this poem would sound like. So Twisted and Damned.
reply

Thank you readers. Sad that in the comments no one recognized Dante wasn't writing a poem but a vision. There are 14 levels of Hell, and 14 levels of Heaven. The Holy Spirit is the only guide in these. Praise to YHWH!

I am super fluent in english but this circa 1700s english translation is impossible to follow. Maybe im too high but it would definitely be better to read this instead or to just not even have done this at all.
reply

Thank god this is Longfellows translation. My favourite. Just paid 3 tokens 4 the 3 parts on audible and it's weirdly modern. Dramatised so it's great but I can't read along with my copies.
reply

2021 is the 700th anniversary of Dante's death. This Longfellow recording is helping me to finally dig into the Comedy. Thank you whoever made this.
reply

This is written so beautiful that all one must do is close their eyes and picture how miserable a place is Hell. Quite vividly too! Scary!
reply

The last reader has such a weird melodious and yet monotonous tone that I have a hard time paying attention/visualizing the reading: /
reply

Be a lot easier to follow if you just went for thou says instead of thou sayths and there would be absolutely no loss of meaning
reply

Just saving my place here:
Canto VI: 43: 46
Canto XV: 1: 57: 42
Canto XXI: 2: 37: 51
Canto XXXI: 3: 50: 24

reply

This was amazing until the speaker for 31-34 came on. Her voice and the way she reads is absolutely insufferable
reply

I've been unable to determine if the last narrator is high as a kite, or Yogi Bear's long lost sister.
reply

My audio processing issues really jumped out because i have no clue whats going on and im only 10 minutes in
reply

The first guy who narrated was driving me crazy gasping for air after every line, had to turn it off
reply

The third reader is horrible. He has zero clue what he's saying. I could barely understand him.
reply

My deepest appreciation to the volunteer who recorded this, the pursuit of knowledge is never ending.
reply

The first reader is so much better than all the others. Wish she would've read the whole thing
reply

Canto III: 16: 56
Canto IV: 25: 24
Canto V: 34: 29
(New reader)
Canto VI: 43: 10

reply

This would have been OK, if the Narration was spoken in English. ( or even broken English.
reply

This needs to be read or heard
in Italian. It’s essence is lost with translation

reply

I found this book physically arousing and I don't know if I should be concerned.
reply

That first narrator: What an exquisite voice, and illustrative narration.
reply

Is it just me or is this book hard to follow. I want to enjoy this.
reply

Does anybody know what translated edition they are reading from for this
reply

I love listening to this but I do not prefer the reader of Cantos 31-35.
