Part of Penguin's beautiful Clothbound Classics collection, designed by award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these enticing and collectible editions are bound in high-quality, colorful, durable cloth with metallic lettering on the design. Describing Dante's descent into Hell midway through his life with Virgil as his guide, the Inferno depicts a harsh Hell where desperate figures are condemned to eternal damnation for transgressing one or more of the seven deadly sins. As he descends through nine concentric circles of increasingly agonizing torments, Dante encounters condemned souls, including the pagan Aeneas, the lying Ulysses, the suicidal Cleopatra, and his own political enemies, who were condemned for their deceit. Guided by ridiculous demons, the poet must ultimately travel with Virgil to the deepest level of all. For only by encountering Satan, at the heart of Hell, can he truly comprehend the tragedy of sin.
