KOKObooks
Thank you very much for the suggestion but kokobooks gives exactly the same problem. They do not sell to Belgium.

This forum isn't the place to discuss buying eBooks; could you take the conversation to the "Freebies, Deals, and Resources" forum, please? We need to keep this "sticky" thread on topic.
Thanks. |

Ah -- thanks. I looked in the index under "Dante" and didn't see it. Then I search for "Inferno" and didn't see it. A new search under "Divine Comedy" found it. Thanks for telling me! Now to see if I can stomach it ..... (I feel like I really ought to try it ... a little!)

Actually, I went to "D" in the book index. A search might have gotten the result I wanted. The "D" index didn't, obviously. |

Do you mean that you'd like the German original? The only English translation appears to be the one by Anthea Bell in 1999 for Penguin Classics, which obviously is still in copyright.

Damnation! I assumed that, having been written so long ago, it would be out of copyright. I hadn't taken into account the copyright on the translation. Never mind.

That's right - a translation has its own copyright, entirely independent of that of the original, so Anthea Bell's translation will be in copyright until 70 years after her death.
