Paradise Dante's Divine Trilogy Part Three. Englished in Prosaic Verse by Alasdair Gray
'Reveals Gray's powers of insight and invention' Guardian
'One of the most vital retellings of the poem to date' Spectator
Dante, now guided by Beatrice, faces the final third of his epic journey through the wheels of divine justice. Yet as he passes through the spheres of Heaven, he struggles with his faith, striving to understand the scales of good and evil that determine the fate of a human soul.
The final book from Alasdair Gray, Paradise is a fitting conclusion to his own irreplaceable body of work, as well as to his masterful retelling of Dante's trilogy.
