Purgatorio by Robert M. Durling
4.0
Dante continues had ascent to heaven. It's fun to realize that most of our current understanding of purgatory originated from Dante's mind. In effect, he popularized the idea of purgatory and shaped it to his own image.
Throughout the whole book references are again made to historical figures, mythological creatures and thus requires a reference guide to read.
The only thing that irks me is that Dante can't be read without this reference guide. Thus making it very hard to just enjoy it for the poetry.
