Describing Dante's descent into Hell midway through his life with Virgil as a guide, this work depicts a cruel underworld in which desperate figures are condemned to eternal damnation for committing one or more of seven deadly sins. Led by leering demons, the poet must ultimately journey with Virgil to the deepest level of all.

Dante's vision, 'The Divine Comedy', has profoundly affected every generation since it first appeared in the early 14th century. This boxed set contains the trilogy of 'The Inferno', 'Purgatory' and 'Paradise', plus a biography of Dante, 'A Life of Dante', which puts the very personal nature of his poetry into perspective.
