Inferno by Dante Alighieri
5.0
Read as a part of 100 Days of Dante! https://100daysofdante.com/
Amazing discussions of this work--Having taught it for many years, I was grateful to finally be able to examine some of the more subtle imagery, the over-layering of allusions, the crafting of authorship, and of course the local historical references. Dante's philosophy of "reason" in crafting the levels of sin is provocative (and not always agreeable), but it's exciting to see how Reason is limited as he now moves on to the later volumes.
