"O human race, born to fly upward, wherefore at a little wind dost
thou so fall?" Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso--the three fates
of the deceased become the three pillars of an epic poem. The
Divine Comedy, written by Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the
fourteenth century, is considered the foremost work in Italian
literature. The journey begins with Dante's descent into the depths
of Hell where he witnesses those eternally separated from God. Then
he climbs the mountain of Purgatory where Christian souls undergo
final purification, before finally touring the celestial circles of
Heaven where he is filled with the image of God. An allegorical
work, the comedy is representative of the soul's journey towards
God. Influential for seven centuries, this classic is a must have
for lovers of great literature, and the luxurious leather-bound
edition from Canterbury Classics will make a stunning addition to
any library.
