Synopsis

This selection from Dante’s poetic work traces an allegorical journey through the afterlife, moving from the infernal regions of Hell to Purgatory and on towards the entrance to Paradise. Along the way, punishment and atonement are presented in relation to the gravity of human transgressions and misdeeds, before the narrative reaches a meeting with Beatrice.

With its dual-language approach and emphasis on language, it suits readers who want to engage closely with the text while following a curated set of cantos.
