Inferno

Author(s): Dante Alighieri; J. G. Nichols (Translator)

Literary Fiction

On the evening of Good Friday in the year 1300, Dante finds himself lost in a dark and menacing wood. The ghost of Virgil offers to lead him to safety but the path lies through the terrifying kingdom of Satan. On his journey deep into the underworld, Dante crosses paths with both old acquaintances and famous persons from history as he witnesses the strange and gruesome sufferings of the damned on the seven levels of hell. This is Dante's infamously dramatic, frightening, and sardonic look at the nature of sin, Christianity, and human morality.
