Inferno

Book • 1767
Inferno is the first part of Dante Alighieri's epic poem, The Divine Comedy.

It describes Dante's journey through the nine concentric circles of Hell, each representing a different level of sin and punishment.

Guided by Virgil, Dante encounters various historical and mythological figures, witnessing their punishments which are symbolic of their sins.

The poem is an allegory of the soul's journey towards God, with Inferno representing the recognition and rejection of sin.

Dante's journey through Hell is also a personal and spiritual exploration, reflecting his own struggles and the political and social issues of his time.
