Summary

"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Purgatory, Volume 1" by Dante Alighieri is an epic poem from the 1300s. The story is the second part of a series about sin, being saved, and what happens to people's souls. The main guy, Dante, shows up in Purgatory after getting away from Hell, and he's led by Virgil, a Roman poet. They meet people trying to make up for what they did wrong, which teaches about sorry and hope. The poem is made up of sections where people tell their stories, talking about divine love and what it means to be human. As Dante and Virgil climb Purgatory mountain, they run into famous people from the past who help explain sin and forgiveness; this journey shows Dante's personal search and a deep look at right and wrong.
