Il poema è diviso in tre parti, chiamate «cantiche» (Inferno, Purgatorio e Paradiso), ognuna delle quali composta da 33 canti (tranne l'Inferno, che contiene un ulteriore canto proemiale) formati da un numero variabile di versi, fra 115 e 160, strutturati in terzine.

Era una giornata freddissima del mese di febbraio, e nella città di P…, nel Kentucky ad ora già avanzata due gentlemen, seduti col bicchiere in mano in una ricca sala da pranzo, liberi dall’incomoda presenza dei servi, discorrevano con molto calore sopra un argomento di alta importanza.Abbiamo detto due gentlemen, ma per modo di dire; perché uno di essi, attentamente osservato, a tutto rigore non appariva tale.Era bassotto e atticciato, aveva lineamenti comuni e grossolani; il suo fare pretenzioso e superbo mostrava l’uomo plebeo che agogna di uscire dalla sua sfera.Il panciotto ...

Dante's short correspondence in verse with Giovanni del Vergilio was only published in 1719, but is believed to have been written at some point in the last years of the poet's life. What we have are two poems by Dante and the answers by Iohannes (Giovanni's Latin name), all in Latin hexameters, emulating the style of Vergil. Even though the works were named after Vergil's bucolic poetry, the poems also echo the Georgics and the Aeneid, and are truly a masterpiece by a master of poetry. In this audiobook, we present the four poems in the original Latin, each followed by its translation by H.E. ...
