'There is no greater sorrow then to recall our times of joy in wretchedness.'

Considered one of the greatest medieval poems written in the common vernacular of the time, Dante's Inferno begins on Good Friday in the year 1300. As he wanders through a dark forest, Dante loses his way and stumbles across the ghost of the poet Virgil. Virgil promises to lead him back to the top of the mountain, but to do so, they must pass through Hell, encountering all manner of shocking horrors, sins and evil torments along the way, evoking questions about God's justice, human behaviour and Christianity.
Autorenporträt
Dante Alighieri, geb. 1265 in Florenz, gest. 1321 in Ravenna, sah mit neun Jahren erstmals Beatrice, die er später in seinem Werk verklärt. Sein Engagement im Kampf um die Unabhängigkeit von Florenz führte 1302 zu einem Gerichtsprozess und schließlich zu lebenslänglicher Verbannung. Dante, der seitdem als vogelfrei galt, hielt sich danach vor allem in Verona auf und reiste von dort aus in viele oberitalienische Städte und Landschaften. Ab etwa 1316 ließ Dante sich in Ravenna nieder, znächst am Hofe des Cangrande della Scala, später als fürstlicher Sekretär und Lehrer für Poetik und Rhetorik.
