Divine Comedy (selected Translations of Famous Works)

About This Novel
"The Divine Comedy" adopts the form of fantasy literature popular in the Middle Ages, and describes a story about traveling through the three realms of hell, purgatory and heaven. There are three volumes of poems, namely "Hell", "Purgatory" and "Paradise", with thirty-three chapters in each volume, and a total of one hundred chapters including the preface. The poet described how he lost his way in a dark forest in the early morning before Easter in 1300. Leopards, lions and wolves, which symbolized lust, power and greed, blocked the way. At the critical moment, the ancient Roman poet Virgil appeared. He was entrusted by the woman Dante loved in his youth, Bidelice, to come to his aid. Virgil guided Dante through Hell, which punishes sinful souls, and through Purgatory, which accommodates repentant souls. Finally, Biedlitze guided him through the nine heavens that constitute heaven, and finally reached the presence of God. At this time, Dante realized that his thoughts were in harmony with God's thoughts, and the whole poem came to an abrupt end.

Dante's Divine Comedy is really good!
Very nice
The author looked at the environment at that time as a bystander, and wrote about the ultimate attachment of religion to the times and the tolerance and praise of the people through three different experiences: hell, purgatory and heaven.
Emmm sofa
Can't read. Don't understand the background and characters
Very philosophical, I can understand it but I can't understand it
Confuse
Didn't it say that Dante never married? How could he have a wife? ? ?
Didn't see the point
Reading this book requires a lot of background knowledge. After reading this book, I didn't get the main idea.
The number of words translated in this translation is also too few.
