A soul's journey through the afterlife—guided by reason, faith, and the eternal quest for truth. Written in the early 14th century, The Divine Comedy is Dante Alighieri's monumental epic poem, a masterpiece of world literature and one of the greatest achievements in Western thought. Divided into three parts—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso—the poem follows Dante himself as he is guided first by the Roman poet Virgil through the torments of Hell and the trials of Purgatory, and then by his beloved Beatrice through the glories of Heaven. Along the way, Dante encounters historical figures, mythological beings, and moral allegories that reflect the spiritual and political realities of his time. A visionary blend of theology, philosophy, and poetic genius, The Divine Comedy is at once a thrilling adventure, a moral meditation, and a timeless exploration of the human soul's path toward redemption.
