The Divine Comedy: Paradise - Dante Alighieri (CD)
Title: Title: Paradise Author: Dante Alighieri Genre: Fiction / Classics / Poetry Format: CD, 3 CDs (Abridged) Synopsis: Dante's The Divine Comedy (Paradise) is one of the most influential works of Western literature. Published shortly after Dante's death in 1321, it is a remarkable vision of a man's journey down into Inferno, then to the limbo of Purgatory where Man pays penance while awaiting redemption, and finally to the bliss of Paradise. It has retained its power and its poetic impulse over seven centuries. Review: AudioFile Heathcote Williams is a British actor and playwright noted for AC/DC, a pair of paranoid and profane dramas that teetered between insanity and genius. Unlike his manic, sensationalistic theater pieces, his reading of the "Paradise" section of Dante's DIVINE COMEDY seems laid-back to a fault. Though apparently striving for the beatific, he manages only to sound bloodless. Annoying mouth noises, sometimes louder than his voice, deepen this impression. Instead of the vision of an inspired poet conducted through the glory of heaven by his saintly love, we get a sleepy tourist escorted through an academic library by a bored docent. Y.R.
