About this book
Creators: Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) and Charles Eliot Norton (1827-1908) [Translator] "The Divine Comedy, Volume 1, Hell" by Dante Alighieri is an Italian narrative poem begun around 1308 and completed around 1321. This opening cantica follows Dante's journey through the nine circles of Hell, guided by the Roman poet Virgil. Lost in a dark wood and unable to find the path to salvation, Dante must traverse the underworld and witness divine justice as souls receive punishment for their earthly sins. The work represents the soul's recognition and rejection of sin in its journey toward God. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading Level: Reading ease score: 73.9 (7th grade).
