Episode description
Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we fast-walk (!) through Dante's INFERNO, the first third (or so) of his masterpiece, COMEDY (or "The Divine Comedy," as some insist on calling it--although he never did).
We're completed our slow walk through the poem in over 200 episodes of the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE. Now we're celebrating by reading straight through my English translation. You can find this translation on my website: markscarbrough.com. It's broken into smaller passages there. But I hope you don't look for it. I hope, instead, that you listen to it for the plot, for the sheer majesty of the imaginative landscape Dante has created.
