# The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 06

By Dante Alighieri.

"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 06" by Dante Alighieri is an Italian narrative poem begun around 1308 and completed around 1321. This epic work follows Dante's journey through the three realms of the dead—Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven—guided by the poet Virgil and his beloved Beatrice. The poem explores divine justice, depicting how souls receive punishment or reward based on their earthly actions. Allegorically, it represents the soul's journey toward God through recognition of sin, penance, and spiritual ascent. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
