Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series,
designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these
delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality
colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.
Describing Dante's descent into Hell midway through his life with
Virgil as a guide, Inferno depicts a cruel underworld in which
desperate figures are condemned to eternal damnation for committing
one or more of seven deadly sins. As he descends through nine
concentric circles of increasingly agonising torture, Dante
encounters doomed souls including the pagan Aeneas, the liar
Odysseus, the suicide Cleopatra, and his own political enemies,
damned for their deceit. Led by leering demons, the poet must
ultimately journey with Virgil to the deepest level of all. For it
is only by encountering Satan, in the heart of Hell, that he can
truly understand the tragedy of sin.
