The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri: The Inferno by Dante Alighieri

"The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri: The Inferno" by Dante Alighieri is a narrative poem written in the 14th century. A fictionalized Dante finds himself lost in a dark forest, blocked by three threatening beasts. The Roman poet Virgil arrives to guide him on an extraordinary journey through Hell's nine concentric circles. Each circle punishes sinners in ways that mirror their earthly crimes. As they descend deeper into this realm of torment, Dante must confront the recognition and rejection of sin itself. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
