The Divine Comedy

The imaginative and allegorical vision of the Christian afterlife unfolds through an epic journey across three realms: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Written by Dante Alighieri in the early 14th century, this monumental poem reflects the medieval worldview and has significantly shaped Italian literature, establishing the Tuscan dialect as the standard for the language. Celebrated as a cornerstone of world literature, it explores profound themes of morality, redemption, and the human experience in relation to divine justice.
