I'm looking for two very old books

Post by Hallow »

Hello. I am searching for any available copies of The Divine Comedy (Written by Dante Alighieri between 1308 and 1321 AD, sometimes refered to as Dante's Inferno) and Paradise Lost (written by John Milton, first published in 1667 AD).

Like I said, they're very old. However, I have reason to believe that they have been released at other points as well, with more modern versions somewhere. Is anyone able to confirm this, and if possible tell me where I could find them (library, store, website, etc).

Try hitting up your local big name bookstore. Borders or Barnes and Noble would have copy's over here in the states...I think...Athos? Help?

Have you searched http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page?
...or do you need a hard copy?

They are not had to find. I have both Dante's Inferno and Milton's Paradise Lost. The Divine Comedy however isn't the same as Dante's Inferno. Dante's The Divine Comedy is made up of The Inferno, Paradise, and the Purgatory. Since Borders doesn't have any stores in Canada (not that I'm aware of anyway) and Barnes and Noble are only in the U.S. Doesn't Chapters have a copy? They're still very much in print. You could order a copy of them online from Borders. I'll get the links for you after work so you can find them. I've also read them both. They are most interesting. I like Milton's better out of the two.


They're in a trade paperback format. I don't think they're out in hardback, at least not in "active" print anyway.

Here is a link for Chapters for each book you've requested.
