The Divine Comedy
by Dante Alighieri
I just closed Inferno and it was so trippy (no spoilers). Dante, one of the greatest poets of all time, writes a phenomenal epic from the perspective of a detached third person narrator looking back on his experience through Hell with the guidance of Virgil, who is symbolic of reason.
As he charts his way through the different levels of Hell, Dante encounters historical figures and their stories. In a way, it is a collection of stories within a giant story. I think this was what made Inferno so great for me to take in a classroom setting: I get to learn about Florentine history while reading one of the greatest literary works that is still a
massive influence on products of culture today.
