The Divine Comedy

This book explores one of the world’s most renowned and greatest works. Dante Alighieri’s ‘The Divine Comedy’ has inspired artists and writers to create new interpretations since the Middle Ages. One such interpretation comes from acclaimed Danish artist Alexander Tovborg, who has been working on a fully illustrated rendition of the work since 2017.

Alongside nearly 100 graphic etchings by Tovborg, the entire Comedy is retold in a simple and captivating style by author Ditlev Tamm. The book offers fresh, contemporary perspectives on the classic masterpiece about Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, making it accessible to both young and older readers alike.

Ditlev Tamm is an author, holds degrees in arts (cand.mag.), law (dr.jur.), and philosophy (dr.phil.), and is a former professor of legal history at the University of Copenhagen.

Alexander Tovborg is a visual artist, educated at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and the State Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe.
