At its core, the "Divine Comedy" is an allegorical journey exploring man's quest for divinity, structured into three distinct sections: "Inferno," "Purgatorio," and "Paradiso." Each section comprises thirty-three cantos, depicting a pilgrimage through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. Dante enriches the narrative with layers of historical, moral, and political context, aiming for accessibility by writing in Italian rather than Latin. This edition features a translation by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and includes an introduction by Henry Francis Cary, highlighting its lasting impact on literature.
