Description
Dante Alighieri's Inferno is a masterpiece of medieval literature, describing a descent into Hell with Virgil as a guide. The poem depicts a cruel underworld in which desperate figures are condemned to eternal damnation for committing one or more of seven deadly sins.
As Dante journeys through nine concentric circles of increasingly agonising torture, he encounters many doomed souls before finally meeting the ultimate evil in the heart of Hell: Satan himself. This Penguin translation, with explanatory notes and illustrations, brings Dante's original work to life in a modern and accessible way.
