"e;Do you cherish your humble and silky life?"e; She makes us see the extraordinary in our everyday lives, how something as common as light can be "e;an invitation/to happiness,/and that happiness,/when it's done right,/is a kind of holiness,/palpable and redemptive."e; She illuminates how a near miss with an alligator can be the catalyst for seeing the world "e;as if for the second time/the way it really is."e; Oliver's passionate demonstrations of delight are powerful reminders of the bond between every individual, all living things, and the natural world.

Describing Dante's descent into Hell with Virgil as a guide, Inferno depicts a cruel underworld in which desperate figures are condemned to eternal damnation for committing one or more of seven deadly sins. As he descends through nine concentric circles of increasingly agonising torture, Dante encounters many doomed souls before he is finally ready to meet the ultimate evil in the heart of Hell: Satan himself.This new edition of Inferno includes explanatory notes and an illustration of Dante's plan of hell. Robin Kirkpatrick's masterful translation is also available in a bilingual Penguin edition, with the original Italian on facing pages, and in a complete edition of The Divine Comedy with an introduction and other editorial materials.

His first major work was La Vita Nuova (1292), a tribute to Beatrice Portinari, the great love of his life who had died two years earlier. In 1302, Dante's political activism resulted in his being exiled from Florence. After years of wandering, he settled in Ravenna and in about 1307 began writing The Divine Comedy.
