A review by kneeholegibby
The Divine Comedy: Volume 1: Inferno by Dante Alighieri
4.0
⭐️ 4.5 stars - gripping, enticing, and fascinating - this book remains relevant. Really great read if you want to dive into where our modern depictions of hell come from. Would read again and recommend to others.
Side note - compared to other writers of the time (Shakespeare, Homer) it is much darker and less humorous, hence why it’s popularity seems limited comparatively. However, the writing itself is just as well done and deserves the same attention.
