  • publisher’s weekly extract is misleading

    People should be aware that this is actually a really old translation supplied by Project Gutenberg, and not the one specified in that extract. Also, the sections are reversed - it should be Inferno -> Purgatory -> Paradise But the book presents it as Paradise -> Purgatory -> Inferno
