The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Paradise, Volume 1 by Dante Alighieri
"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Paradise, Volume 1" by Dante Alighieri is an Italian narrative poem begun around 1308 and completed around 1321. This epic work follows Dante's journey through the three realms of the afterlife—Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven—guided by the poet Virgil and his ideal woman Beatrice. The poem explores divine justice, depicting how souls receive punishment or reward based on their earthly actions. Allegorically, it represents the soul's journey
toward God through recognition of sin, penance, and spiritual ascent, drawing on medieval Catholic theology and philosophy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
