Purgatory | Dante Alighieri

We know what happens in Hell.. But what about Purgatory Dante's Inferno revealed some titillating details about the punishments inflicted on sinners - but in a way, we already knew what happens to people in Hell. ⬇️

suvata What we don't know is what happens to people who end up in Purgatory. In this second part of The Divine Comedy, Dante probes the mysteries of that strange and often misunderstood place between Earth and Heaven.

Purgatory is a place to work through - no one gets stuck there forever. The souls in Dante's Purgatory must climb up seven terraces on Mount Purgatory before they can reach Heaven.

Darn it Hozier, this is your fault! No I‘ve read large parts and summaries before. He just inspired the purchase with his music. 🔥

Bookwomble Tess of the d'Urberville's was my late sister's favourite book, after which she named my niece. I have a Folio copy, but haven't felt emotionally ready to read it. 6mo

Dante: A Life | Alessandro Barbero

I had to give this up, so many pages of names, names and more names of possible ancestors. I completely lost interest.

Texreader Yea, I can believe that. In my readings about Italy‘s history my eyes glaze over when it gets to all the battles and intrigues between countless people. 7mo
