Description
Dante's Inferno begins on Good Friday in the year 1300, as he wanders through a dark forest and loses his way. It is here that he encounters the ghost of the poet Virgil, who promises to lead him back to the top of the mountain.
As they journey through Hell, Dante and Virgil encounter all manner of shocking horrors, sins, and evil torments. Along the way, they evoke questions about God's justice, human behaviour, and Christianity.
This medieval poem, written in the common vernacular of the time, is considered one of the greatest works of its kind. HarperCollins presents it as part of its new range of best-loved classics.
