About the book

Dante's Inferno is the first part of The Divine Comedy and follows the poet's imagined journey through the nine circles of Hell. Guided by the Roman poet Virgil, Dante encounters historical, mythological and contemporary figures suffering punishments that reflect the sins they committed in life. The poem combines Christian theology, political commentary and extraordinary visual imagination, making it one of the great achievements of medieval literature.
