The Inferno is the first part of Dante's masterpiece, The Divine Comedy.

Along the way, he meets a number of interesting figures. The Divine Comedy, written in the early fourteenth century by Dante Alighieri, continues to be essential reading for lovers of literature.

A must-have for every home library, The Inferno is a book that you'll reach for again and again, destined to grace your bookshelves for years to come.
Dante Alighieri (c. 1265-1321) was an Italian poet, writer, and political thinker. After studying at the University of Bologna, he married and had four children. Dante was exiled from his hometown of Florence in 1302 due to his political leanings, finally settling in the city of Ravenna in 1307, when he began writing The Divine Comedy.
