      Synopsis

      This story begins in a shadowed forest on Good Friday in the year of our Lord 1300. It proceeds on a journey that, in its intense re-creation of the depths and the heights of human experience, has become the key with which Western civilization has sought to unlock the mystery of its own identity.

      Annotation

      This is the finest of all Christian allegories origianlly written by Dante Aligheri.

      June 08, 2002: In The Divine Comedy, by Dante Alegeheri, the author describes his visit to the underworld, of Hell. Accompanied by Virgil, his companion, he is transported to the under realm where sinners are punished. He travels to nine cirlces for the nine sins. He visits the circle of hypocrits and vivdly describes how every day, the sinners walk in circles chained together and every day, get their heads chopped off. Then Dante hears a mournful bugle call, more mournful then when Charlegmagne lost he said. The Inferno is an execellent story if you want to learn about life after death.
