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 dreamlike 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 into life, his concern for the fate of Italy and its nation, and his confidence in pursuing truth and the "summum bonum."
