These are concentric and spherical, as in Aristotelian and Ptolemaic cosmology. The structure of \u003cem\u003eParadiso\u003c\/em\u003e is based on the four cardinal virtues and the three theological virtues. In \u003cem\u003eParadiso\u003c\/em\u003e, Dante meets and converses with several great saints of the Church, including Saint Peter, and St. John. Allegorically, the poem represents the soul's ascent to God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Divine Comedy\u003c\/em\u003e represents a vision of the afterlife of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century. The narrative describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, while allegorically the poem represents the soul's journey towards God. The poem is widely considered to be the pre-eminent work in Italian literature and one of the greatest works of world literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dante Alighieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1774760592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774760598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Engage Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Dante Alighieri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944042725631,"sku":"9781774760598","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_79183934-b5c8-451f-bbfb-b8f10b13777c.jpg?v=1681501460","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-divine-comedy-dante-alighieri-9781774760598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
