Among the monuments of world literature, the brilliant 'Divine Comedy' by Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) occupies one of the leading places. In his grandest work, the poet depicted the dramatic fate of the human soul in a symbolic and allegorical form: its death in hell, rebirth in purgatory, triumph in paradise. Dante's poem is the most significant phenomenon of the High Middle Ages and to some extent a harbinger of Renaissance culture. Before you is the first part of the 'Divine Comedy', 'Hell'. Translated from the Italian by E. A. Drobiazka
