I recommend this edition of the Inferno. John Ciardi does a wonderful translation. While not every stanza rhymes Ciardi manages to write with a similar iambic pentameter found in the original. At the end of each Canto ("Chapter") Ciardi includes footnotes for every word and reference the reader might not understand (I know I sure didn't) as well as summaries at the beginning of each Canto so you know exactly what the Hell you're reading.
Have the read The Inferno by Dante? That will knock your socks off. I recommend the Ciardi translation as he provides helpful plot summaries before each Canto and notes after. Both of which are necessary for anyone unfamiliar with the work to truly appreciate and understand its brilliance.
Sure, here ya go. The Inferno (Signet Classics) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0451531396/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lvCgzb224412C
I believe that is the same version that I read, but my version didn't have the second two books in the trilogy. Here is the version I have: The Inferno (Signet Classics) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0451531396/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_WKYCAbM8M328J. If I had to bet, I would say that the version you linked has the chapter summaries as well.
