Summary:

Dante Alighieri's "The Divine Comedy" is arguably the greatest single work ever created in the history of Western literature. Explore the mesmerizing story, at once dreamlike and hyper-real, that unfolds within the poem itself; the story of how Dante managed to create it under such unpromising circumstances, and how it has been transmitted over time.
