Description
What is the cause of evil in our world? Dante traces the downward path of sin from self-indulgence to violence to fraud to treason and then turns it upside down. Dante the pilgrim meets some of the most memorable characters in all of literature: Francesca, overcome by lust; Farinata, flaunting his pride of family; the banker Reginaldo Scrovegni; the ancient hero Ulysses; and the betrayed traitor Ugolino.
