The Divine Comedy: Purgatorio Audiobook (free download)

Dante Alighieri’s poetic masterpiece is a visionary journey that takes audiences through the torment of Hell. This second part of Dante’s "Divine Comedy" is a lot of things: a moving human drama, a magnificent protest against the ways in which men have thwarted the divine plan, an incredible path through the choices of every human being. It represents allegorically the prosecution of the soul's journey toward God. At this deeper level, Dante draws on medieval Christian theology and philosophy. The "Purgatorio" tells the journey of Dante through Purgatory, guided by the ancient Roman poet Virgil. In the poem, Purgatory is depicted as 12 concentric circles of human choices, and it is divided into seven frames, in which the seven deadly sins expiate: pride, envy, anger, sloth, avarice, gluttony, lust.
