Dante's "Divine Comedy" is one of the greatest works in the history of world literature. Borges called this book "the best book in the history of human literature." "The Divine Comedy" is divided into three parts - "Hell": suffering people, sin and suffering; "Pure World": people who atone for sins, repentance and waiting; "Paradise": happy people, joy and love. There are 100 articles in three parts.
Dante began writing the "Divine Comedy" in 1308, and completed the three volumes of "Inferno", "Pure World" and "Paradise" in 1320. It is still sung today and is the first work of the Renaissance movement.
Joyce loved this book, "The Divine Comedy is the European epic. I love my Dante as much as I love the Bible. That is my spiritual food, and everything else is junk." When Lu Xun evaluated foreign literature in his later years, he mentioned that "Italian writer Dante and Russian writer Dostoevsky are the two most unforgettable foreign writers for me."

The one that touched me the most was the chapter on Hell. I barely understood the rest of it. Hell punishes those who do evil and have no faith. Everything has a cause and effect, and you must not bring harm to the world.
It looks good, but I'm just curious. Have you really been to Hell?
