Notes

Description
"On a divine journey through the depths of Hell, Dante--with his guide, the poet Virgil--witnesses the fate of Earth's sinners. Inferno, a 14th century poem and the first part of Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, paints an allegorical underworld in which sinners are punished in accordance with their sins. Journey through the darkness and meet famous historical and mythical figures and the fate that has become them, from Homer and Julius Caesar who dwell in Limbo with the unbaptized and the virtuous pagans, to Judas Iscariot and Satan himself, who dwell in the deepest circle of hell for the sin of treachery. Influential, even after seven centuries in print, readers of Inferno will appreciate the plethora of allusions both within and concerning this work, as well as the moral implications the story develops. Now available as part of the Word Cloud Classics series, Inferno is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers. "--,Provided by publisher.
Description
"Inferno is a fourteenth-century allegorical story, written as a poem, relating Dante's fictional travels through the nine circles of Hell. Dante outlines moral truths by explaining what he learns in each circle - Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, Treachery - with the help of his Guide, the poet, Virgil. This is the first part of a three-part story, the second being Purgatorio, and the third being Paradiso"--,Provided by publisher.
