Overview

Purgatory is the second part of Dante's The Divine Comedy. We find the Poet, with his guide Virgil, ascending the terraces of the Mount of Purgatory inhabited by those doing penance to expiate their sins on earth. There are the proud-forced to circle their terrace for aeons bent double in humility; the slothful-running around crying out examples of zeal and sloth; while the lustful are purged by fire. Unabridged on a new translation by Benedict Flynn. With music of the period.

The narrator reads well, but takes the topic just a tad to seriously. As if this isn't the fantasy of a medieval mind.
