They deftly translate it into comics while taking care to preserve the heart of the story: a taste for excess, dramatic tension, and the inevitable darkness of the subject matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuided by the poet Virgil, Dante crosses the nine circles of Hell to find his beloved, Beatrice, in Paradise. Along the way, he must recognize and reject each of the incarnations of sin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn each circle of Hell, Dante confronts both sinners and demons, from Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Achilles, and Paris, whose loves were famously their downfall, to the Greek Furies and Medusa, to heretics like Epicurus, whose teachings claimed that the soul died with the body, now forced to writhe in a flaming tomb for eternity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"social-sharing\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HACHETTE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50879196758325,"sku":"9781419776755","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/3030\/9430\/files\/9781419776755_1024x1024_2x_45de67d3-ef9b-4cdb-ae04-0e84d30bdecb.jpg?v=1745964255","url":"https:\/\/shop.floatingworldcomics.com\/products\/dantes-inferno","provider":"Floating World Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
