The Inferno by Dante Alighieri is the first book in the extravagant trilogy of The Divine Comedy. This renowned and thrilling series shares Dante's extraordinary and creative imaginations through a poetic perspective. The Inferno begins Dante's death-defying journey as he strolls through the woods, overwhelmed with darkness when he finds a mountain that he could climb, in order to escape the clutches of this unceasing darkness. Discovering that his path is blocked by a she-wolf, a lion, and a leopard, he is forced to retreat back to the woods and meets the spirit of Virgil, a poet that was sent by Dante's deceased lover, Beatrice, to escort Dante to the peak of the mountain. Yet, Virgil explains that the only way to reach their destination, is to enter and endure the fiery pits of Hell and reach the gates of Heaven, where Beatrice awaits. This novel is exquisitely and artistically written, touching upon a plethora of subjects including judgement, remission, Greek mythology, and accompanied with spine-chilling moments that may leave you at the edge of your seat. It will definitely change the way you perceive life and guide you to realize that your harmful intentions can cause consequences.

(You don't have to use my book review, but if you want to, then go ahead. Also, the second activity is optional, so it doesn't need to be completed.)
