Description
Dante Alighieri's Inferno presents a graphic vision of the consequences of sin, featuring an array of characters that are both noble and grotesque. Written in exile from his native Florence, this work aimed to address a world gone astray morally and politically, while pushing back traditional rules governing writing in the Italian vernacular. The story follows Dante's protagonist - and his reader - as they encounter a diverse cast of characters, each with their own human flaws and weaknesses. This all-too-human array serves to illustrate the dreadful consequences of sin, making for a thought-provoking and unsettling read. Translated by H.F. Cary and introduced by Claire Honess, this edition of Inferno offers a unique perspective on Dante's masterpiece.
