HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'There is no greater sorrow then to recall our times of joy in wretchedness.' Considered one of the greatest medieval poems written in the common vernacular of the time, Dante's Inferno begins on Good Friday in the year 1300. As he wanders through a dark forest, Dante loses his way and stumbles across the ghost of the poet Virgil. Virgil promises to lead him back to the top of the mountain, but to do so, they must pass through Hell, encountering all manner of shocking horrors, sins and evil torments along the way, evoking questions about God's justice, human behaviour and Christianity.

La Storia della letteratura italiana è senza ombra di dubbio il capolavoro di Francesco De Sanctis, il più illustre critico letterario italiano dell'Ottocento. Quest'opera infatti rappresenta una sintesi perfetta di tutta la produzione letteraria italiana dalla sua nascita fino all'Ottocento.
Po mnoha suchopárných, pedantických výčtech jsou De Sanctisovy Dějiny italské literatury dobrodružstvím italské duše. Od roku 1870 mnohokrát vydávané v mnoha překladech.
