Publisher's Synopsis

L'Enfer: Poeme, also known as The Inferno, is a classic epic poem written by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri in 1788. It is the first part of his larger work, The Divine Comedy, which is considered one of the greatest works of world literature. The Inferno is a journey through Hell, guided by the poet Virgil. Dante encounters various sinners in different levels of Hell, each punished according to the severity of their sins. The poem is divided into nine circles, each representing a different sin, such as lust, gluttony, and treachery. Throughout the poem, Dante explores themes of morality, justice, and the consequences of sin. He also includes political commentary and criticism of the church, as well as personal reflections on his own life and experiences. L'Enfer: Poeme is a masterpiece of medieval literature and has had a significant influence on Western culture. It has been translated into numerous languages and adapted into various forms of art, including paintings, operas, and films.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
