Dante's Divine Comedy: Inferno

Więcej o książce

Dante is accompanied on his voyage to the world of the dead by the Roman poet Virgil, author of the Aeneid. Horror and fascination take over in equal measure as pilgrim and poet make their descent into the concentric circles of Hell, each one more horrifying than the last, culminating with the deadly journey to the lake of ice at its nadir, where the three-headed Lucifer resides, trapped waist-deep in ice for all eternity. This masterpiece of world literature it is a spiritual allegory without compare where the revelation of the divine and the self-discovery of the narrator has been illustrated with artwork from Hieronymus Bosch, William Blake and other artists from the Italian School.
