"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Purgatory, Volume 1" by Dante Alighieri is an Italian narrative poem begun around 1308 and completed around 1321. This section follows Dante's journey through Purgatory, the second realm of the afterlife, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. The poem depicts souls undergoing penance for their sins, cleansing themselves through the seven deadly sins before ascending toward salvation. Allegorically, it represents the penitent Christian life, the soul's path between recognizing sin and reaching toward God. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
