Divine Comedy: Paradiso

The book «Paradiso» completes the publication of the Ukrainian translation of Dante's «Divine Comedy» by Maksym Strikha. This translation, like the previous ones («Inferno» and «Purgatorio»), strives not only to accurately reproduce the content and form of the masterpiece, but also to give the reader a feel for the living, dynamic language of the original.
«Paradiso» is the most difficult part of the «Divine Comedy» to comprehend. The preface to the book will help the reader understand the place of «Paradiso» in the overall concept of the work.

The appendices to the book contain: The completion of the anthology of Ukrainian poems about Dante, compiled by Maksym Strikha. This anthology testifies to the influence of Dante on Ukrainian culture; Two essays about Dante, written by Thomas Stearns Eliot and Vasyl Barka. These essays provide different perspectives on the work of the Italian poet.
«Paradiso» is not just a translation, it is a journey to the summit of divine perfection, undertaken together with the great Dante.
