About This Ebook
In “Purgatorio,” Dante continues his spiritual journey, guided by the Roman poet Virgil, as they ascend the seven terraces of Mount Purgatory. Each terrace corresponds to one of the seven deadly sins: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, avarice, gluttony, and lust. On these terraces, souls undergo penance and purgation to cleanse themselves of their earthly transgressions. Eventually, Dante reaches the summit of Mount Purgatory, the Earthly Paradise, where he meets Beatrice, a symbol of divine love, who takes over from Virgil to lead Dante into Heaven. This work serves not only as a religious allegory but also provides deep insights into the social, political, and philosophical thoughts of medieval Europe.
