The journey begins with Dante's descent into the depths of Hell, where he encounters souls that have been eternally cut off from God. Then he ascends the mountain of Purgatory, where Christian souls complete their final purification, before concluding his path through the heavenly circles of Paradise, where he faces the divine vision.

As an allegorical work, The Divine Comedy symbolizes the spiritual journey of the human soul towards God. For seven centuries it continues to inspire readers around the world and is an integral work for every lover of classical literature.
