Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy
"Divina Commedia di Dante: Inferno" by Dante Alighieri is an epic poem written in the 14th century. This foundational work of Italian literature explores themes of justice, morality, and the afterlife, depicting the poet's allegorical journey through Hell, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. The narrative follows Dante as he confronts various sinners and the consequences of their earthly actions, with a rich tapestry of characters and moral lessons that reflect the society of his time. At the start of the "Inferno," Dante finds himself lost in a dark forest, symbolizing confusion and moral ambiguity, and begins his journey toward enlightenment. He is soon confronted by various beasts representing sin, and ultimately meets Virgil, who offers to guide him through Hell. As they descend, they encounter a harrowing landscape filled with tormented souls, establishing a vivid and chilling atmosphere that is both poetic and poignant. The beginning sets the stage for a profound exploration of sin and redemption, inviting readers to reflect on their own moral compass as the narrative unfolds.
