The Divine Comedy, Vol. 1 & 2: Hell & Purgatory – Dante Alighieri

Condition : Good, considering age.
Penguin, Vintage Paperbacks, 1976 – Poetry. Some sticker-damage.

A translation of Dante’s allegorical poem. This story begins in a shadowed forest on Good Friday in the year of our Lord 1300.

The most celebrated work of Dante is the Divine comedy — a vision of hell, purgatory and heaven that provides a strangely surrealistic view of medieval attitudes on religious dogma and the price of disobedience. This timeless Christian allegory has become the key with which Western civilization has sought to unlock the mystery of its own identity.
