Description
Dante's 'Divine Comedy,' and in particular "Inferno," is a masterpiece of world literature. The fearsome journey recounted in "Inferno" is told by a pilgrim - the poet himself - who meanders through the increasingly macabre landscape of Hell. He meets and often recognizes the various inhabitants of the hellish circles and witnesses their strangely befitting punishments.
It is a spiritual allegory without comparison: at once a voyage of self-discovery and a revelation of the divine.
