Beschreibung

?Because your question searches for deep meaning, I shall explain in simple words?Inferno is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri and is a part of the Divine Comedy. It visualizes Dante?s spiritual journey, where he travels down through nine concentric circles embarking the readers through the dark and gloomy corners of hell, where Dante encounters how souls in the inferno suffer for their sins.The poem foregrounds the immortality of the soul as it paints a soul's journey through the ?city of woes?, where punishment is ?eternal? and the cursed are ?lost?. Regarded as one of the classics of Italian literature, Inferno is a truly a masterpiece.

Portrait

Durante degli Alighieri (1265 - 1321), was a major Italian poet of the Late Middle Ages. His Divine Comedy, originally called Comedìa and later christened Divina by Boccaccio, is widely considered the greatest literary work composed in the Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature. In the late Middle Ages, the overwhelming majority of poetry was written in Latin and therefore accessible only to affluent and educated audiences. In De vulgari eloquentia (On Eloquence in the Vernacular), however, Dante defended use of the vernacular in literature. He himself would even write in the Tuscan dialect for works such as The New Life (1295) and the aforementioned Divine Comedy; this choice, although highly unorthodox, set a hugely important precedent that later Italian writers such as Petrarch and Boccaccio would follow. As a result, Dante played an instrumental role in establishing the national language of Italy.
