• Samenvatting
  Having survived the darkest and deepest depths of Hell, Dante must now clamber and climb up the mountain of Purgatory to secure his seat in Heaven. But reuniting with his beloved Beatrice is far from easy. Seven terraces await him. With seven deadly sins. Can Dante cleanse his soul of each and every one? And is his newfound heavenly hope enough to reject the fierce and fiery hell he left behind?In his second instalment of ‘The Divine Comedy’, Dante journeys through the no-man’s land between Heaven and Hell in a profoundly philosophical tale of a soul’s journey toward God. One of the greatest works of world literature, Dante’s ‘The Divine Comedy 2: Purgatory’ is the perfect tale for film fans of ‘What Dreams May Come'.Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) was an Italian poet, writer and philosopher, celebrated as the ‘father’ of the Italian language. His ‘Divine Comedy’ (Comedìa) is widely celebrated as one of the most important poems of the Middle Ages and the greatest literary works in the Italian language. The work was instrumental in shaping the Western world’s understanding of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven and continues to influence depictions across all art forms today. A skilled linguist, Dante was also instrumental in establishing literature in Italy, along with standardising the Italian language at a time when published works remained almost exclusively in Latin. He is celebrated for diversifying accessibility to reading and religion, during an era long before the industrial printing press.
