Description
Dante Alighieri's Inferno, the first part of his epic poem The Divine Comedy, presents a vivid portrayal of the eternal punishment reserved for various sins. In this English translation, accompanied by facing pages in Dante's Italian, readers can explore the poet's descent into Hell, guided by Virgil, as he navigates nine concentric circles of increasingly agonising torture. Along the way, Dante encounters a diverse range of characters, including those who have committed treachery and deceit, ultimately leading to a horrific vision of Satan.
