705 years later, still timelyA guided tour from confusion to clarity. “The Divine Comedy” maps a soul through consequence, cleansing, and vision with images you’ll keep forever. Read it as a structured reflection on choice, justice, and joy—art that enlarges moral imagination.
You move from the noise of error to the discipline of repair and finally to a vision of ordered love. Along the way Dante links politics, friendship, art, and faith into a moral atlas.

The journey format still works because the work is all of ours.
