The Vision of Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise

The most famous part of the epic Divine Comedy trilogy by Dante Alighieri, the Inferno has maintained a hold on the popular imagination for centuries. Offering nothing less than a fully realized vision of hell, Dante gingerly walks the line between Christian theology and clinical insanity. Arguably the greatest work ever written in the Italian language, Dante established a cornerstone in the literary endeavor. This edition is illustrated by Gustave Dore.
