How a super-long poem survived the Dark Ages to be a best book of all time.
About the Story:
The poem is written in the first person, and tells
of Dante's journey through the three realms of the dead, lasting from
the night before Good Friday to the Wednesday after Easter in the
spring of 1300. The Roman poet Virgil guides him through Hell and
Purgatory; Beatrice, Dante's ideal woman, guides him through Heaven.
Beatrice was a Florentine woman whom he had met in childhood and
admired from afar in the mode of the then-fashionable courtly love
tradition, which is highlighted in Dante's earlier work La Vita
Nuova.
The structure of the three realms follows a common
numerical pattern of 9 plus 1, for a total of 10: 9 circles of the
Inferno, followed by Lucifer contained at its bottom; 9 rings of
Mount Purgatory, followed by the Garden of Eden crowning its summit;
and the 9 celestial bodies of Paradiso, followed by the Empyrean
containing the very essence of God. Within each group of 9, 7
elements correspond to a specific moral scheme, subdivided into three
subcategories, while 2 others of greater particularity are added to
total nine. For example, the seven deadly sins of the Catholic Church
that are cleansed in Purgatory are joined by special realms for the
Late repentant and the excommunicated by the church. The core seven
sins within Purgatory correspond to a moral scheme of love perverted,
subdivided into three groups corresponding to excessive love (Lust,
Gluttony, Greed), deficient love (Sloth), and malicious love (Wrath,
Envy, Pride).

About the Author:
Durante degli Alighieri, simply referred to as Dante (c. 1265–1321), was a major Italian poet of the Middle Ages. His Divine Comedy, originally called Commedia and later called Divina by Boccaccio, is widely considered the greatest literary work composed in the Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature.
In Italy he is known as il Sommo Poeta ("the
Supreme Poet") or just il Poeta. He, Petrarch and Boccaccio are
also known as "the three fountains" or "the three
crowns". Dante is also called the "Father of the Italian
language".
