The Divine Comedy: Volume 2: Purgatory by Dante Alighieri

5.0

It proved more engaging than Dante's Inferno, delving into the intricacies of the seven deadly sins as Dante ascends Mount Purgatory to shed the marks of sin, emphasizing the rejection of determinism in favor of advocating for human free will. Yet, the most poignant aspect for me was the melancholic departure of Dante's guide, Virgil, who fades away, leaving room for Beatrice to take over without Dante getting the chance to bid a proper farewell. This shift adds an emotional layer to the narrative as it sets the stage for the final installment, Paradiso.
