The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Purgatory, Complete by Dante Alighieri
"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Purgatory, Complete by Dante Alighieri" is the second part of Dante's Divine Comedy written in the early 14th century. Guided by the Roman poet Virgil, Dante ascends Mount Purgatory, an island-mountain where penitent souls climb seven terraces of suffering and spiritual growth. The journey explores sin's nature, virtue and vice, and argues that all sins stem from perverted, deficient, or excessive love. Prayer and redemption shape
this allegorical vision of the Christian soul's purification before reaching Paradise. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
