Project Gutenberg 1997-08-01 Public domain in the USA. 89 Dante Alighieri 1265 1321 Alighieri, Dante Divina Commedia di Dante: Purgatorio "Divina Commedia di Dante: Purgatorio" by Dante Alighieri is a narrative poem written in the early 14th century. This work is the second part of Dante's "Divine Comedy," which encompasses the journey of the main character, Dante himself, as he navigates through the realms of the afterlife—Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. In "Purgatorio," Dante focuses on the journey of souls who are repenting for their sins and striving for redemption. The opening of "Purgatorio" establishes the thematic framework of repentance and spiritual purification. Dante, guided by the poet Virgil, describes their ascent of the mountain of Purgatory, where souls seek to atone for their earthly transgressions before entering Paradise. As they approach the mountain, Dante reflects on the beauty of the celestial sphere above and the guidance provided by divine forces, including the Muses and angels. The section evokes imagery of hope and renewal as the characters embark on their arduous yet transformative journey towards enlightenment and salvation. The divine intervention of figures like Beatrice, who symbolizes faith and love, further emphasizes the significance of divine grace in the pursuit of spiritual ascent.
