Features: The long poem "The Divine Comedy" by the great Italian poet Dante Alighieri consists of one hundred cantos, divided into "Inferno," "Purgatorio," and "Paradiso." Through describing his dream-like journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, the author exposes various flaws and evils in real life, particularly the corruption and decline of the Church, while expressing his insights on life, his concern for the fate of Italy and its nation, and his faith in pursuing truth and the "summum bonum."
