# The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 10

By Dante Alighieri.

"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 10" 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 afterlife: Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Guided first by the Roman poet Virgil and later by Beatrice, Dante encounters divine justice as souls receive punishment or reward for their earthly actions. The poem allegorically represents the soul's journey toward God, drawing on medieval Catholic theology and philosophy. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
