Classic & Older Gothic

The Divine Comedy

by Allen Mandelbaum

Dante's medieval masterwork traces a soul's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise—a theological and allegorical map of the afterlife rendered in terza rima. Exile, sin, redemption, and the architecture of divine justice, all seen through one poet's visionary descent and ascent.
