Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an excerpt from the epic poem Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, one of the most influential works of Western literature. The excerpt focuses on the 30th canto of Dante's journey through Hell, where he encounters counterfeiters and forgers. The canto opens with the author invoking the mythological figures of Juno, Ate, and Hecuba to set the tone for the horrors that await him. He then describes the gruesome punishments inflicted upon the sinners in this circle, who are forced to endure physical disfigurement and constant torment. Among the most notable characters encountered is Master Adam, a counterfeiter who yearns for a single drop of water to quench his insatiable thirst. Through Master Adam's tale, the author explores themes of greed, deception, and the consequences of sin. The canto culminates in a heated exchange between Master Adam and Sinon, a false counselor from the Trojan War. Their quarrel exposes the depths of their malice and the futility of their attempts to escape their punishment. This excerpt offers a glimpse into Dante's profound understanding of human nature and the complexities of morality. It serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of wrongdoing and the importance of seeking redemption.
