Inferno

📒 "Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark For the straightforward pathway had been lost... "
Canto I

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.
