The year 2015 marks a significant anniversary in celebration of the birthday of the renowned Italian poet Dante Alighieri. For 750 years, his masterpiece "The Divine Comedy" has been translated anew around the world. For Hermann Hesse, this work was a millennium book, and hundreds of artists from all fields continue to pay homage to this perhaps greatest poem of all time. In German alone, we find 54 different translations of Dante's "Divina Commedia." And who does not know the inscription on the gate of hell: "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." Burkhard Wolk presents the first complete audio rendition of the "Divine Comedy" as an audiobook. Just like in the live recitation, the German text by Karl Witte is used in the audiobook, which is perhaps the closest to the grandeur of Dante's poetry. Italy's greatest poet captivates.
