"The Divine Comedy by Dante, Illustrated, Hell, Volume 01" by Dante Alighieri is a narrative poem from the cusp of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance that chronicles a journey into the depths of Hell, examining morality, spirituality, and humanity. The book, the first part of a bigger story by Dante, unfolds as an allegorical exploration of sin and redemption using symbolic images; it starts with Dante, lost in a dark wood that stands for confusion and sin, and follows his path as he meets beasts that represent sin. Guided by the poet Virgil, who stands for reason, Dante travels through the concentric circles of Hell, observing how sinners are punished for their sins while he confronts his own fears, paving the way for his future quests.
