Book description
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved,
essential classics.
'There is no greater sorrow then to recall our times of joy in wretchedness.'
Considered one of the greatest medieval poems written in the common
vernacular of the time, Dante's Inferno begins on Good Friday in the
year 1300. As he wanders through a dark forest, Dante loses his way and
stumbles across the ghost of the poet Virgil. Virgil promises to lead
him back to the top of the mountain, but to do so, they must pass
through Hell, encountering all manner of shocking horrors, sins and evil
torments along the way, evoking questions about God's justice, human
behaviour and Christianity.
