Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri is a giant in the Western canon, depicting Dante’s fictional journey through hell, purgatory and paradise.
What Alana Says: “It establishes an aesthetic and poetry of the afterlife that continues to be repeated in the human literary and artistic imaginary to this day. It’s a work that never fully reveals itself.”
What They Say: “You may have never read a single line of The Divine Comedy, yet you’ve been influenced by it” — Christian Blauvelt
