Summary "La Divina Commedia di Dante: Complete" by Dante Alighieri is an epic poem written in the 14th century. The work explores themes of morality, spirituality, and the afterlife as it follows the journey of the protagonist, Dante, through the realms of Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, guided initially by the Roman poet Virgil. At the start of the narrative, Dante finds himself lost in a dark forest, representing sin and confusion, realizing he has strayed from the righteous path. Struggling with despair, he encounters various allegorical beasts that symbolize different sins and obstacles in life. After invoking the muses for assistance, he meets Virgil, who offers to guide him through the depths of Hell and beyond. This marks the beginning of a transformative journey as they embark on a quest to understand the nature of sin, redemption, and divine justice. This intricate journey sets the tone for the rich allegorical explorations and profound reflections on the human condition that unfold throughout the text.
