Summary:
"Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy' is arguably the greatest single work ever created in the history of Western literature. Explore the mesmerizing story, at once dreamlike and hyper-real, that unfolds within the poem itself; the story of how Dante managed to create it under such unpromising circumstances, and how it has been transmitted over time." -- Container.
