Dante's Paradiso

The final part of Dante's journey through the underworld and afterlife - this time exploring all the realms of Heaven with his old girlfriend, Beatrice (dead). From the depths of the Moon to the heights of Jupiter and beyond - all the way to the highest Empyrean, and the God that resides there. Journey where few have been allowed or dared to go with Dante as he completes his quest to see all of creation, whether he can explain it or not. Perhaps the most obtuse book by an Irish author containing the subject of Ulysses - this tome is a dark sea, not a gentle lake; be warned.
