The Divine Comedy

At the age of thirty-five, on the night of Good Friday, 1300, Dante turns out to be lost in the dark forest and is very frightened by this. He sees the mountains flooded with the sun and tries to rise on them, but leopard, lion and a wolf prevent this. Dante is forced to return to the forest. There he meets the spirit of Vergil, who promises to hold him a journey through hell and purgatory to heaven. Dante agrees and follows versgil through the gates of hell.

Souls are moaning right behind the entrance, which neither good, nor evil at lifetime. Further, the Ahern River is visible through which Fierce Charon transports the dead on the boat to the first circle of hell.

This is a libamba. There are talking souls of warriors, wise men, poets, as well as unreleased babies. They grieve that they have no place in paradise. Dante and Vergili walked and talked about unearthly together with the great poets of antiquity, the first of which was Homer.

At the descent to the second round of Head, the demon Minos determines how the sinner where to overthrow. Travelers saw the worth of the Souls of Soul Affairs (Cleopatra, Elena Beautiful, etc.) to the tragic death of them led to a mutual passion ..

In the circle, the third travelers met Cercher's dog. Here, under the shower, lying in the mud, the soul of the rumble. Among them, Countryman Dante, Florentica Chakco. They talked about their hometown and Chakko asked Dante to remind him of alive after returning to Earth.

In the fourth round, the extorters and buyers are executed. He is guarded by the demon Plutos.

In the fifth circle, angry and lazy are tormented. They were mired in the swamps of the Niza Nizna.

Before Dante and Vergil, the hellish city of Dit spread. Every dead evident bothers them to enter. Heaven suddenly appeared at the entrance to the city of the Heavenly Messenger, who curled them with anger. In the diet, the travelers saw the tomb embraced by the flame, of which the stons of heretics are heard.

Near the descent from the sixth round in Seventh Vergil explained Dante the device of the remaining three circles, tapering towards the center of the Earth.

The seventh circle is between the mountains and the Minotaur guard is guarded. There, the travelers saw a bloody fluid flow in which tyrants and robbers are boiled. From the shore of the centaurs shoot in them out of the onions. Centaur Ness volunteered to hold the travelers and helped find a trip over the river.

Circle were prickly thickets. This is the soul of suicides. They are peeling the hellish birds Garpia, the dead is the dead and it causes them an unbearable pain. To meet the souls of new sinners. Among them, Dante recognized his teacher Brunetto Latini. He is guilty in the tendency to the same-sex love. Three more sinners are danced for a similar sin on fire.

The eighth circle consists of ten pvov called zlopazumi.

In the first execution of the summers and seductors of women, in the second - Lytsov. Jimons will beat demons, and the lets are sitting in the mass of feces

The next ditch is laid out with round holes. Of these, the burning legs of the spiritual persons who traded church posts are sticking out. Heads and torso them clamped them.

In the fourth sinus, agitators and the sorcerer, who twisted the neck.

The fifth - flooded with a boiling resin, which bribes throw. Further, the travelers see a crucified high priest, which insisted on the execution of Christ.

In the seventh sinus goes through the rocks .. here the thieves are executed - they bite the poisonous snakes and they are scattered in the dust, they are restored in their guise.

And in the eighth grade executed insidious advisers.

In the ninth - convicted of the sounds of the Troubles. The devil cuts off their noses and ears, crushes the skull. The travelers approached the well through which Antey lowered them on her huge palm to the bottom. They found themselves near the center of the globe.

The ice lake was spread in front of them, in which traitors of relatives were frozen.

In the center - Veltel Lucifer was frozen in the ice, he is three-items. From his first grazing, the Judas sticks out, from the second brut, from the third Cassius. Lucifer places their claws. A well stretches to the opposite terrestrial hemisphere stretched from it, the travelers rose to the surface and saw the sky.

They fell into purm. Washed at the shores of the sea, sleeved cooled of an abandoned hell.

From the sea was given to them, a man was sailed by an angel with the souls of the departed, who did not fall into hell. At Chelny, travelers got to the shore and went to the foot of the grid.

There, the travelers talked with sinners who managed to reveal before death and for this reason did not fall into hell.

Dante was facilitated on the grass, fell asleep and was moved to gates in purgatory. Guarding the gates Angel draws them on the forehead 7 times the letter "G" - "Sin". These seven letters will be emitted as the mountain climb.

In the first round, the purgation of the pride of the pride. They are in punishment for sin bent under the severity of stone blocks.

In the second round - envious. They are blinded, their eyes see nothing.

In the third round, obsessed with anger are cleared. There was black blades, humming their rage.

In the circle, the fourth is cleared lazy. They should run here rapidly.

In a circle, the fifth - miser and waste. The earthquake has happened to the arms caused due to the fact that one of the souls was cleared and ready for climbing: this is the Roman poet of the stations

In the circle, the sixth cleaned overlap. They are convicted of hungry flour.

From the forehead travelers erased the penultimate letter and the path in the seventh circle of purgatory is opened.

In the seventh circle, the destructors are cleaned. They burn in fire and sing, pouring abstinence and chastity.

Now the travelers must go through the wall of fire and there is no other way to paradise.

And here is the paradise of the earth. It is located in a flowering grove. Beautiful Donna collects flowers and sings. She told Dante that there was a golden age here, but then, among the paradise, the happiness of the first people were destroyed among the paradise.

According to paradise, the righteous elders in snow-white clothes are marked, on their heads - wreaths from roses and lilies, wonderful beautiful beauties dance everywhere. Suddenly Dante saw his beloved - Beatrice and lost his feelings. He woke up immersed in the fly - the river for the oblivion of sins.

From the earthly paradise of Dante and Beatrice together flew to heavenly

In the first sky of Paradise - in the sky of the Moon, they met the souls of the nuns, forcibly issued married. Beatrice explained that they though victims, but should be a well-known responsibility for the violence committed on violence, since they did not show heroic resistance.

In the third heaven - Venus, whom to the souls of loving. They shine in fiery stars.

The fourth star is the sun, is the inhabitants of the wise men. Next - on Mars and White Jupiter, where the souls are fair. Their lights fold in the letters, and then in the figure of the eagle, the symbol of the right-hand imperial power approved in heaven.

Eagle joined the conversation with Dante. He emphasizes the idea of \u200b\u200bjustice, he has a warmer eye composed of the most worthy light-spirits.

The travelers ascended to the seventh heaven - to Saturn. This is the abode of contemplates. From the height of Dante looked down, and saw a ridiculous little globe.

In the eighth heaven, thousands of lights are glowing - this is the triwest spirits of great righteous. Beatrice asked the Apostles Cook with Dante. With the apostle Peter, they talked about the essence of faith. With the apostle John - about love, faith, hope. At the eighth heaven, Dante saw the tearing soul of Adam. Further, the ninth sky, the supreme and crystal.

The first thing Dante saw in the sphere of the ninth sky is a dazzling point. This is a symbol of a deity. The lights rotate around it - nine concentric angels - seraphim and cherubs, and the most remote and extensive - archangels and angels.

Angels, as Beatrice told, peers of the universe. Their rapid rotation is the source of the entire movement in the universe.

Next - ascension to empires is the highest area of \u200b\u200bthe universe. There he saw an old man in white, which pointed up the top where Beatrice glowed. This old man is Bernard, from now on - the mentor of Dante, with him together they began to contemplate the spray rose in which the souls of immaculate babies shine. Bernard prayed to Virgin Mary, helped Dante. Then he gave him a sign, look upstairs. Looking at the brightest Light Dante gained the highest truth. He contemplated a deity in his trinity.

On Poldorog's life, I - Dante - I was lost in the dense forest. Scary, the colors of the wild animals - the allegories of vices; There is nowhere to go. And here is the ghost, which turned out to be a shadow of her beloved ancient Roman poet Vergil. I ask for help. He promises to lead me from here in the wanderings in the afterlime world so that I saw hell, purgatory and paradise. I am ready to follow him.

Yes, but forces do I have such a journey? I was an orcoul. Vergilie Urgoril me, told that Beatrice itself (my deceased beloved) decreased to him from Paradise to hell and asked to be my conductor in the safety travels. If so, then it is impossible to fluctuate, the determination is needed. Arrange me, my teacher and mentor!

Above the entrance to hell inscription, takes out any hope of incoming. We entered. Here, right behind the entrance, moaning pathetic souls who have not worked at any goodness, nor evil. Next River Aheron. Through her, the ferocious Charon transports the dead on the boat. We - with them. "But you're not a dead!" - Quickly shouts to me Charon. Virgil pulled him. Floated. Missed the roar, the wind blows, flames flames. I lost feelings ...

The first circle of hell - Lamb. There are talking souls of unresolved babies and glorious pagans - warriors, wise men, poets (among them and Vergil). They are not tormented, but only grieve that they have no place in paradise as non-Christians. Vergile and we joined the great poets of antiquity, the first of which Homer. She was spent and talked about unearthly.

At the descent in the second round of the underground kingdom, Mosnos Demon defines how the sinner in which place of hell is to overtake. He reacted at me just like Charon, and Vergil was also dumbered. We saw the degraded souls who worn by the hellish swirl (Cleopatra, Elena beautiful, etc.). Among them, Francesca, and here are inseparable with their lover. The immense mutual passion led them to the tragic death. Deeply compassioned them, I lost my feelings again.

In the circle, the bribed dog is rapidly firmly. Flare was on us, but Vergili was dumbered and his. Here are lying in the mud, under heavy shower, sinning sinners. Among them is my countryman, Florentica Chakco. We talked about the fate of the hometown. Chakko asked me to remind him of living people when I return to Earth.

The demon, guarding the fourth circle, where the extracts of waste and buying (among the last many spiritual persons - Pope, Cardinals), - Plutos. Vergili also had to be placed to be taken away. From the fourth descended into the fifth round, where the angry and lazy, mired in the swamps of the Niza Nizna. Approached some tower.

This is a whole fortress, around her extensive reservoir, in Chaln - Rower, Demon Flyege. After another move, I sat down to him, sailing. Some sinner tried to cling to the board, I Orugg him, and Vergilie said. Before us is the hell city diet. Any dead evident prevents us from entering it. Vergiliya, leaving me (oh, scary one!), I went to find out what was the matter, I returned concerned, but entertained.

And here, also hellish fun in front of us appeared threatening. Recruited the suddenly appeared heavenly messenger who curled them anger. We entered the diet. Everywhere with a flame of tombs, of which the stons of heretics are coming. Through a narrow road make their way between tombs.

From one tomb suddenly grown a mighty figure. This is a pharyam, my ancestors were his political opponents. In me, hearing my conversation with a twentieth, he guessed the fellow countryman. Pride seemed to be despised all the abyss of hell. We hovered with him, and here another head leaned from the neighboring tomb: Yes, the father of my friend Guido! He was meant that I was the dead and that his son was also died, and he fell in desperate NIC. Phyrinata, calm him; Gvido alive!

Near the descent from the sixth round in the seventh, above the grave of Pope Yerechik Anastasia, Vergil explained to me the device of the remaining three circles of hell, tapering down the book (to the center of the Earth), and what sins in what a zone what a circle is punished.

The seventh circle is compressed by mountains and guard by the demo-semi-minted minotaur, weekly roaring on us. Vergil shouting at him, and we hurried to move away. They saw a fluid flow in blood, in which tyrants and robbers are boiled, and from the shore in them, the centaurs are shooting out of the onions. Centaur Ness became our acclaimed, told about the execution rates and helped switch the boiling river VJrod.

Around the prickly thickets without greens. I broke some branch, and the black blood was fitted, and the barrel groaned. It turns out that these bushes are the soul suicides (rapists over their own flesh). They are peeled by the hellish birds of Garpii, trample past the running dead, causing them unbearable pain. One truncated bush asked me to collect broken bits and return them to him. It turned out that the unfortunate is my countryman. I fulfilled his request, and we went further. We see - the sand, the flakes of fire flies on top of it, puzzling sinners who scream and moan - everything, except one: he lies silently. Who is it? The king of Kapani, a proud and gloomy bootiness, fought by the gods for his stallness. He is now faithful to himself: either silent, or the gods are thrown out loudly. "You yourself are tormented!" - shouted his verse ...

But towards us, tormented by fire, the souls of new sinners are moving. Among them, I hardly recognized my highly high teacher Brunetto Latini. He is among those who are responsible in the tendency to the same-sex love. We talked. Brunetto predicted that in the world of living I am waiting for me fame, but there will be many very hardness in front of which you need to resist. The teacher visited me to take care of his main essay, in which he is alive, "treasure".

And three more sinners (sin - the same) danced on fire. All Florentines, former respected citizens. I talked to them about the Zloscey, our hometown. They asked to give alive countrymen that I saw them. Then Vergil led me to deep failure in the eighth round. We will shut there a hellish beast. He is already climbing from there.

This is a Penic Tailed Gerion. While he is preparing for a descent, there is still time to look at the last martyrs of the seventh circle - the usurists flying in the vortex of flaming dust. Multicolored wallets with different coat of arms hang from their neck. I did not talk with them. Let's hit the road! Sit down with a top riding in Gerion and - Oh horror! - Smoothly fly to failure, to new flour. Descended. Gerion immediately flew away.

The eighth circle is divided into ten pvov, called malice. In the first RIV, the summers and seductors of women are executed, in the second - Lytz. Jimons brutally beat horny demons, the lets are sitting in the liquid mass of the minddock - the stench is unbearable. By the way, one slut is punished here not for wandering, but for shining her lover, saying that she is good with him.

The next ditch (the third sinus) was laid out by a stone, the pesting round holes, of which the burning legs of high-ranking spiritual persons who traded church positions stick out. The heads and the torso are clamped with well-wall wells. Their successors, when they die, will also joke with flaming legs in their place, fully hesitated to the stone of their predecessors. So explained to me Dad Orsini, at first I accept me for my successor.

In the fourth sickness, the sordians, asteristers, witch are tormented. They are twisted with the neck so that, sobbing, they irrigate their tears not breasts, but ass. I jerked himself, seeing such a mockery of people, and Vergili shared me; Sin regret sinners! But he, with sympathy, told me about his fellow countryman, the mannota, whose name was called Mantua - the birthplace of my glorious mentor.

The fifth ditch is flooded with a boiling resin, into which the devils are crusted, black, winged, throw bribes and follow that they are not overwhelmed, and they will not be treated by the sinner with crochets and finish the most cruel way. At these nicknames: the malfunction, cososhy, etc. Part of the further path we will have to go through their terrible company. They are shifted, showing languages, their chef made back stunning obscene sound. I haven't heard this yet! We go with them along the ditch, sinners dive into the resin - hide, and one lasted, and they immediately pulled out hooks, going to torment, but allowed us to talk with him. The poor fellow got the vigilance of crushes and dived back - they did not have time to catch him. The annoyed devils came up with each other, two fell into the resin. In the turmoil we hurried to retire, but it was not there! They fly for us. Virgil, picked up me, barely managed to run in the sixth sinus, where they are not the owners. Here the hypocrites are tampering under the severity of lead gilded clothes. But crucified (nailed Kolomi), the Jewish High Priest, which insisted on the execution of Christ. His legs with legs with a leaded hypocrites.

It was difficult to transition: a rocky way - in the seventh sinus. There are a thieves that bite the monstrous poisonous snakes. They scatter in dust from these bites, but they are immediately restored in their guise. Among them, Banny Fucci, who has risening the sacristy and melted the blame on the other. The man is rough and blasphemy: God sent away, reed up two Kukisch upwards. Snakes immediately attacked him (I love them for it). Then I watched a certain snake merged with one of the thieves, after which he took his appearance and got on his feet, and the thief is sent, becoming a reptile gad. Wonders! Such metamorphosis will not find it from Ovid.

Likui, Florence: These thieves - your fraud! I am ashamed ... And in the eighth Rib, insidious advisers. Among them, Ulysses (Odyssey), his soul is sharpened in the flame, capable of talking! So, we heard the story of Ulysses about his death: Thirsty to know the unknown, he sailed with a handful of bravery to the other end of the world, suffered a shipwreck and, together with friends, drowned away from the people inhabitable.

Another talking flame, in which the soul did not call himself named by the deserted adviser, told me about his sin: This adviser helped Roman dad in one unrighteous matter - expecting the fact that Dad will let him go to him. To the sinner of Heaven's sinner tolerant than those who hoped to escape repentance. We switched to the ninth moat, where the sounds of the troubles are executed.

Here they are, instigators of bloody strife and religious stem. The devil will deduce them with a heavy sword, cuts off noses and ears, crushes a skull. Here and Magomet, and encouraging Caesar to Cesen's Civic War, and the bertis de borsh warrior Troubadur (his head in his hand, like a lantern, and she exclaims: "Mount!").

Next, I met my parent, angry with me for the fact that his violent death remained indispensable. Then we switched to the tenth moat, where alchemists are afraid of eternal itch. One of them was burned for the fact that jokingly boasted, as if he was able to fly, - became a victim of the den. I didn't get to hell for it, but as an alchemist. Here they are executed by those who gave themselves to other people, counterfeiters and generally liar. Two of them came up with each other and then they scored for a long time (Master Adam, mixed copper into gold coins, and the ancient Greek Sinon, who deceived the Trojans). Vergil reproached me for curiosity with whom I listened to them.

Our journey in malleazumah ends. We approached the well leading from the eighth circle of hell in the ninth. There are ancient giants, titans. Among them, Nemveod, angry with something in an incomprehensible language, and Antey, who, at the request of Vergil, lowered us on the bottom of the well on his huge palm, and immediately straightened.

So, we are at the bottom of the universe, near the center of the globe. Before us, an ice lake, he was squeezed by his relatives. One, I accidentally threw a nail on my head, he shouted, and he refused to call himself. Then I clung to his hair, and then someone called him by name. Scoundrel, now I know who you are, and tell you about people! And he: "Writh, what you want, about me and about others!" But the icy pit, in her one dead gnawing the skull to another. I ask: what? Pick up from his victim, he answered me. He, Count Ugolino, revenge on his faithful like-minded person, Archbishop Rujjeri, who worked him and his children hunger, sharpening them in the Pisa Tower. Unbearable were their suffering, the children died in the eyes of the Father, he died the last. Shame Pisa! We go further. Who is this before us? Alberigo? But he, as far as I know, did not die, since it turned out to be in hell? It also happens: the body of the villain still lives, and the soul is already in the underworld.

In the center of the Earth, Lucifer, Lyucifer, Liberated from Heaven, and who left the abyss of the abyss, disfigured, three-items in the fall. From the first to graze it, I stick to Judas, from the second brut, from the third Cassion, he fats them and torments claws. The worst of all accounted for the most vile traitor - Judas. From Lucifer stretches the well, leading to the surface of the opposite earth hemisphere. We squeezed into it, climbed to the surface and saw the stars.

Purgatory

May they help me to touch the second kingdom! His Guard Stretcher Caton met us inappropriate: who are? How dare to come here? Vergilius explained and, wanting to delight Katon, the warmth responded to his wife's wife. What does marcy here? Go to the seashore, you need to wash! We're going. Here it is, sea distance. And in coastal herbs - abundant dew. Her Vergil washed away with my face with an abandoned hell.

From the sea gave us a driven by an angel Chaln. In it, the souls of the departed, who were lucky enough to not get into hell. Moored, went ashore, and the angel sailed. The shadows of the arrivals crowded around us, and in one I learned my friend, singer Kozhellu. I wanted to hug him, but the shadow is impregnated - hugged himself. The goat at my request was born about love, everyone was heard, but here Caton appeared, but she shouted on everyone (they did not do it!), And we settled to the grief of purgatory.

Virgil was dissatisfied with him: he gave rise to shouting on himself ... Now we need to develop the upcoming road. Let's see where the arrived shadows move. And they themselves just noticed that I am not a shadow: I do not miss the light through myself. Surprised. Vergil explained it all. "Go with us," they invited.

So, we hurry to the foot of the purgant mountain. But whether everyone is hurrying, does everything so much wait? There is a group of not very hurrying to climbing: they say, it will time; We climb the one who is neurouted. Among these sludges, I learned my friend Belakva. It's nice to see that he, and at the lifetime of the enemy of any rush, faithful to himself.

In the foothills of the purgatory, I happened to communicate with the shadows of victims of violent death. Many of them were fairiful sinners, but, saying goodbye to life, managed to repent and therefore did not fall into hell. This is an annoyance for the devil, deprived of production! He, however, found how to recoup: not gaining power over the soul repentant who repented the deceased sinner was abused over his killed body.

Not far from all this, we saw the royal-majestic shadow of the sideline. He and Vergil, having learned each other countrywoman poets (Mantuans), fraternally embraced. Here is an example to you, Italy, a dirty boutinal, where they are completely broken bonds of fraternity! Especially you, my Florence, is good, you will not say anything ... Find, look at yourself ...

Forelling agrees to be our conductor to fitting. It is a great honor for him - to help high versgil. Stepodo chatting, we approached the blooming fragrant valley, where, preparing for overnight, there are shadows of high-ranking specials - European sovereigns. We published observed them, listening to their consonant singing.

Introne an hour when the desire is attacked by sailing back, to your loved ones, and remember the bitter mig forgiveness; When he owns the sadness to Pilgrim and he hears, as the chime distantly crumpled by the bottom of the bottom of the Impression ... In the valley of the Earth's lords, there was a cunning snake sidelnance, but the arrival angels expelled him.

I am arrived on the grass, fell asleep and was moved to the gates of purgatory in a dream. Guarding their angel seven times lasted on my forehead and the same letter - the first in the word "sin" (seven death sins; these letters will be alternately from my forehead as they climb on the vague mountain). We entered the second kingdom of the victim, the gate closed behind us.

The climb began. We are in the first round of purification, where the pride of the pride is bothering. In the Environment of Gordini, the sculptures embody the idea of \u200b\u200ba high attachment - humility are erected here. But the shadows of the cleansing pride: in the lifetime of the unreleased, here they are in punishment for their sin bent under the weight of the stone blocks poured on them.

"Our father ..." - this prayer sang a baked pride. Among them is a miniaturist artist Odrees, with his loud glory in his loud. Now, he said, realized that there was nothing to throw: everyone is equal to the face of death - and the Old man, and the baby hateing "Nam-Nam", and Glory comes and goes away. The sooner you understand and find the strength to curb my pride, to come to accept, - the better.

Under your legs, we have bas-reliefs with captured plots of punished pride: Lyucifer and Brianaries, the King Saul, Oloferne and others. Our stay in the first round ends. The angel of the starie from my forehead is one of the seven letters - as a sign that the sin of pride I was overcome. Vergili smiled at me.

We climbed into the second round. Here enviously, they are temporarily blinded, their former "enviable" eyes do not see anything. Here is a woman, who walked evil from the envy and rejoiced their failures ... In this circle, I will not be cleared after death, because it rarely envied anyone. But in the prured Gorders - probably for a long time.

So they, blinded sinners, whose blood had ever burned envy. In silence, the words of the first currency - Cain sounded the words: "He will kill the one who will meet!" In fear, I am a student to versgil, and the wise leader told me bitter words that the highest eternal light is unavailable envious, enthusiastic earth bassages.

We passed the second round. Angel came again, and only five letters remained on my forehead, which will be left to get rid of the future. We are in the third round. In front of our eyes, a cruel vision of human rage was flashed (the crowd scored with a meek young man). In this circle they are cleaned obsessed with anger.

Even in the dotters of hell there was no such black Molly, as in this circle, where the rage of angry. One of them, Lombards Marco, talked to me and expressed the idea that it was impossible to understand everything that was happening in the world as a consequence of the activities of the highest celestial forces: it would mean to deny the freedom of human will and remove the responsibility for his deed.

Reader, did you happen to wander in the mountains foggy evening, when and the sun is almost not visible? So we ... I felt the touch of an angelic wing to my forehead - the coat of another letter. We rose in a circle fourth, illuminated by the last ray of sunset. There are lazy, whose love for good was slow.

The sloths here should be rapidly running, not allowing any indulgence to their lifelong sin. Let them be inspired by the examples of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who had to rush, or Caesar with his amazing termination. We ran past us, disappeared. I want to sleep. I sleep and see a dream ...

Dreamed of a disgusting woman, in my eyes turned into a beauty, which was immediately confused and turned into an even worse urba (here she, imagining the attractiveness of the vice!). Another letter disappeared from my forehead: I, it means that I won such a vice as lazy. We rise in the circle of the fifth - to the buyers and wastewater.

Poor, greed, greed to gold - disgusting vices. The molten gold was once poured into a sip to one obsessed greed: drink to health! I am uncomfortable surrounded by mekuparts, and then an earthquake has happened. From what? In my ignorance I do not know ...

It turned out, the shaking of the mountain was caused by flashes on the fact that one of the souls was cleared and ready to climb: this is the Roman poet of the stations, a fan of Vergil, who was opposed to what he would accompany us towards a vicious top.

From my forehead, one more letter denoted by the sin of misappropriateness. By the way, did the stations that tried in the fifth round was a stingy? On the contrary, wasteful, but these two extremes are punishable. Now we are in a circle of the sixth, where gloves are cleared. It would not be necessary to remember that Christian devotees were not characteristic of the gluttony.

Former worshipers are destined to be hunger flour: extinguished, the skin and bone. Among them, I discovered my deceased friend and countryman Forese. Talked about their own, crowded Florence, Forese convictedly responded about the dissolute lanes of this city. I told the friend about Vergilia and about my hopes to see my favorite Beatrice in the afterlife.

With one of the heaven, the former poet of the old school, I had a conversation about literature. He admitted that my like-minded people, supporters of "New Sweet Style," reached in love poetry much more than himself and the masters close to him. Meanwhile, the steer is the penultimate letter from my forehead, and the path to the highest, the seventh circle of purgatory is open.

And I remember everything, hungry, hungry wagon: how did they say so? After all, these are shadows, not the body, they will not be hungry. Vergilius explained: Shadows, although they are noticeable, the outlines of the implied bodies repeat the outlines (which would be emitted without food). Here, in the seventh round, the fiery fighters are cleared. They burn, sing and reclaim examples of abstinence and chastity.

Flame-covered solvents divided into two groups: predicted by same-sex love and not kneading measures in two-fallen soils. Among the latter - the poets of Guido Guiniecli and Provencallen Arnald, who sophisticated us in their adverb.

And now we ourselves need to pass through the wall of the fire. I was frightened, but my mentor said that it was the way to Beatrice (to the earthly paradise located on the top of the purgatory mountain). And here we are threesome (the stations with us) we go, fabriced by flames. Passed, go on, the evening, stopped on vacation, I slept; And when I woke up, Vergile turned to me with the last word of farewell and approval, all, from now on he will silenced ...

We are in the earthly paradise, in the blooming, announced by the twentiest bird grove. I saw a wonderful Donna, singing and collecting flowers. She told that there was a golden age, innocence was blushing, but then, among these flowers and fruits, the happiness of the first people was destroyed in sin. Hearing this, I looked at Virgil and the Station: both blissfully smiled.

Oh Eve! It was so good here, you all destroyed with your jerks! Live lights floats by us, the righteous elders in snow-white clothes, crowned with roses and lilies, are marked by roses and lilies, and wonderful beautiful beauties are dancing. I could not look at this amazing picture. And suddenly I saw her - the one I love. Shocked, I made a unwitting movement, as if trying to cuddle up to versgil. But he disappeared, my father and Savior! I buried. "Dante, Vergili will not return. But you will have to see it. Look at me, this is me, Beatrice! And how did you get here? " she asked angrily. Then a voice asked her why she was so string to me. I replied that I was delighted by the bait of pleasures, was wrong for her after her death. Do I recognize my guilt? Oh yeah, tears of shame and repentance, I lowered my head. "Raise the beard!" She said sharply, did not blame her eyes from her. I lost feelings, and woke up immersed in the fly - the river giving the oblivion of perfect sins. Beatrice, look at the one who is so devoted to you and so sought you. After a ten-year separation, I looked at her eyes, and my eyesight was averaged from their dazzling shine. Proskel, I saw a lot of beautiful in the earthly paradise, but suddenly the cruel vision came to change everything: the monsters, the ruination of the shrine, the breakdown.

Beatrice deeply grieving, realizing how much bad lies - in these visions revealed to us, but expressed confidence that the forces of good would ultimately win evil. We approached the Evnoe River, drove from which to strengthen the memory of perfect to you good. I and the stations were washed in this river. The sip of her sweet water poured new forces into me. Now I am clean and worthy to climb the stars.

Paradise

From the earthly paradise, with Beatrice together fly to Heavenly, in an inaccessible to the understanding of mortal heights. I did not notice how you soared, looked at the sun. Do I really stay alive, capable of it? However, Beatrice was not surprised by this: the cleaned man is spiritual, and the spirit of ether is easier to be burdened by the sins.

Friends, let's pass here - do not read further: disappear in the irrelevance of incomprehensible! But if you are not crowded by the Legal Food Leader - then forward, for me! In the first paradise of Paradise - in the Sky of the Moon, which Beatrice called the First Star; They plunged into its subsoil, although it is difficult to imagine the power capable of accommodating one closed body (what I am) to another closed body (in the moon).

In the depths of the moon, we met the souls of nuns, abducted from monasteries and forcibly issued married. Not in its fault, but they did not hold down the presence of virginity given when we were tated, and therefore higher heavens are not available. Do you regret it? Oh no! I would not agree to regret with the highest righteous will.

But still wondering: what are they to blame, coming to violence? Why are they not climbing above the sphere of the Moon? You need to blame not a victim, but a rapist! But Beatrice explained that the victim carries a well-known responsibility for the violence committed on her, if, resisting, did not show heroic resistance.

Failure to fulfill the vow, approves Beatrice, almost recalculated with good deeds (too much need to do them, barking guilt). We flew to the second Sky of Paradise - to Mercury. Here lived the souls of ambitious righteous. This is no longer a shadow, in contrast to the previous inhabitants of the afterlime world, and the lights: shine and radiating. One of them broke out especially bright, rejoicing communicating with me. It turned out, this is the Roman emperor, the legislator of Justinian. He realizes that the stay in the field of Mercury (and not higher) is the limit for him, for the ambition, making good deeds for their own glory (that is, loves above all), they missed the ray of true love for the Divine.

The light of Justinian merged with a dance of the lights - other righteous souls. I thought, and the course of my thoughts brought me to the question: why did God-Father sacrifice the son? It was just that way, the Verkhovna will, forgive the sin of Adam! Beatrice explained: the highest justice demanded that humanity itself redeems his guilt. It is unable for it, and I had to fertilize the earthly woman, so that the son (Christ), aligning the human with God, was able to do it.

We flew to the third sky - to Venus, where the souls of loving, shining in the fiery depths of this star. One of these spirits - the Hungarian King of Karl Martell, who spokes up with me, expressed the idea that a person could realize his abilities, only acting on the field that meets the needs of his nature: bad if a born warrior becomes a priest ...

Sweet shine of other loving shower. How many blissful light, heavenly laughter! And at the bottom (in hell), it's impurious and sullenly in the shadows ... One of the lights spoke with me (Trubadur forgive) - condemned the church authorities, sophisticated dads and cardinals. Florence - the city of Devil. But nothing, he believes, will soon be better.

The fourth star is the sun, the habitat of the wise men. Here shines the spirit of the Great Theologian Foma Aquinas. He happily welcomed me, showed me other wise men. Their consonant singing reminded me of church evil.

Thomas told me about Francis Assisi - the second (after Christ) the spouse of poverty. This is a monk, including his nearest disciples, began to walk bare. He lived his holy life and died - a naked man on his bare earth - in Lona poverty.

Not only me, but also the lights - the spirits of the wise men - he listened to the speech of the thomas, stopping singing and spinning in dance. Then the word took Franciscan Bonaventure. In response to praise to his teacher, reckoned by Dominican Market, he recalled the teacher of Foma - Dominica, the farmer and the servant of Christ. Who continued his business now? Not worthy.

And again, the word took Thomas. He argues about the great advantages of King Solomon: he asked himself a mind from God, wisdom - not to solve theological issues, but to reasonably rule the people, that is, the royal wisdom, which was given to him. People, do not judge about each other hastily! This is busy good things, he is evil, but suddenly the first fall, and the second will rise?

What will happen to the inhabitants of the Sun on the Judgment Day, when the spirits find the flesh? They are so bright and spiritual that it is difficult to imagine them materialized. Our stay here, we flew to the fifth sky - on Mars, where the sparkling spirits of Warriors per faith are located in the form of a cross and sounds sweet anthem.

One of the lights that form this wonderful cross, without going beyond its limits, benoyed the book, closer to me. This is the spirit of my valiant grandfall, the warrior of Kachchagvida. He welcomed me and praised that the glorious time in which he lived on Earth and who - alas! - I passed, replaced by the worst time.

I am proud of my ancestor, with my origin (it turns out, not only on vulnerable land you can experience such a feeling, but also in paradise!). Kachchagvida told me about himself and about his ancestors born in Florence, whose coat of arms - White Lilia - now painted with blood.

I want to learn from him, clairvoyant, about his further fate. What is waiting for me ahead? He replied that I would be expelled from Florence, in loyalty wardings to know the bitterness of someone else's bread and the steepness of other stairs. To my honor, I will not hurt with unclean political groups, but myself will become a party. In the end, my opponents will be posted, and the triumph is waiting for me.

Kachchagvida and Beatrice encouraged me. Strengthen stay on Mars. Now - from the fifth sky on the sixth, with red Mars on the White Jupiter, where the souls are fair. Their lights add up to the letters, in the letters, first in appeal to justice, and then in the figure of the eagle, a symbol of redeference imperial power, an unknown, sinful, married land, but approved in heaven.

This majestic eagle entered into a conversation with me. He calls himself "I", and I am heard by "We" (justifying the power of collegial!). It is clear to him that I myself can not understand: why is he paradise open only for Christians? What is bad virtuous Hindu, not knowing Christ at all? So do not understand. And even though, - Eagle admits, - that a bad Christian is worse than glorious Persian or Ethiopa.

Eagle personifies the idea of \u200b\u200bjustice, and he does not have claws and not the beak mainly, but the all-term eye, composed of the most worthy light-spirits. The pupil is the soul of the king and the Psalmist of David, the souls of the Doharistian righteous shine in the eyelashes (and after all, I just argued about the paradise "only for Christians"? It's possible to give any doubts!).

We ascended to the seventh sky - to Saturn. This is the abode of contemplates. Beatrice has become even more beautiful and brighter. She didn't smile at me - otherwise it would be at all kind of miser and blinded me. The blissful spirits of the contemplates were silent, did not sing - otherwise they would have stunned me. The sacred Svetoka theologians of Pietro Damyano said to me.

The Spirit of Benedict, named by one of the monastic orders, was angry with modern self-adhesive monks. After listening to him, we rushed to the eighth sky, to the constellation of the twins, under which I was born, first saw the sun and breathed the air of Tuscany. From his height, I looked down, and my eyes, having passed through the seven paradise visited by us, fell on a ridiculously small globe, this handful of dust with all her rivers and mountain circles.

In the eighth heaven, thousands of lights are glowing - this is the triwest spirits of great righteous. Mojen, my eyesight strengthened, and now even a smile Beatrice will not blind me. She smiled wondered and again prompted me to draw gaze to the light spirits, sending the anthem to the Tsarice of Heaven - the Holy Virgin Mary.

Beatrice asked the apostles to talk with me. As far as I penetrate the sacrament of the sacred truths? Apostle Peter asked me about the essence of faith. My answer: faith - argument in favor of the invisible; Mortals cannot see with their own eyes what opens here in Paradise, but they will believe in a miracle, without having a visual evidence of his truth. Peter remained satisfied with my answer.

Will I see the author of the Holy Poem, the Motherland? Will it be crowned with laurels where they baptized? The Apostle Jacob asked me a question about the essence of hope. My answer: Nadezhda - Waiting for the Family Honored and Glory Gov. The deliberated Jacobs littered.

Next question about love. He was asked by the apostle John. Answering, I did not forget to say that love draws us to God, to the word truth. Everyone was reproited. Exam (what is faith, hope, love?) Successfully ended. I saw the racing soul of the forefather of our Adam, who lived in the earthly paradise, expelled from there to Earth; After death, the long-haired limb; then moved here.

Four lights flashed in front of me: Three Apostles and Adam. Suddenly Peter scraps and exclaimed: "My throne is captured, my throne, my throne!" Peter hated his successor to Roman dad. And it's time for us to part with the eighth heaven and crawl into the ninth, supreme and crystal. With unearthly joy, laughing, Beatrice threw me into a rapidly rotating sphere and ascended herself.

The first thing I saw in the sphere of the ninth sky is a dazzling point, a symbol of the deity. Around it rotate lights - nine concentric angels. Nearest to the Divine and therefore smaller - seraphims and cherubs, the most remote and extensive - archangels and just angels. It is used to thinking that the great is more small, but here, as you can see, the opposite is.

Angels, told me Beatrice, the peers of the universe. Their rapid rotation is the source of the whole movement that is performed in the universe. The hurried disappear from their host was overtaken in hell, and the remaining still twice the paradise in Paradise, and they don't need to think, want, remember: they are quite satisfied!

Ascension to empires is the highest area of \u200b\u200bthe Universe - the last. I again looked at the one, whose beauty rising in paradise raised me from the top to the leave. We are surrounded by pure light. Everywhere sparks and flowers are angels and blissful souls. They merge into a kind of shining river, and then acquire the shape of a huge paradise rose.

Contemplating a rose and comprehending the general plan of Paradise, I wanted to ask Beatrice about something, but I saw it, but a clear elder in white. He pointed upstairs. I look - in an inaccessible embroidery, she glows, and I appealed to her: "Oh Donna, who left the mark in hell, gives me help! In all that I see, I realize your good. For you I went from slavery to freedom. I will keep me and in the future that my spirit worth it from flesh! " I looked at me with a smile and turned to the eternal shrine. Everything.

Old man in White - Saint Bernard. From now on, he is my mentor. We continue to contemplate with a rose of empire. The souls of immaculate babies are shining in it. This is understandable, but why and in the hell there were someone's souls - can't they be vicious in contrast to these? God knows what potency is kind or bad - in which infant soul is laid. So Bernard explained and began to pray.

Bernard prayed to Virgin Mary for me - to help me. Then gave me a sign so that I looked up. After watching, I see the Supreme and Brightest Light. At the same time not blind, but gained the highest truth. Contemplating a deity in his light trinity. And the love of me is going to him that the sun and the stars drive.

On the night before a passionate Friday, in 1300, Dante, who at this point was only 35 years old, was lost in the forest, which was in a strong fright. From there it overlooks the mountains, and he is trying to climb them, but the lion, Wolf and Leopard and Dante get on his way to return back to the thick thicket. In the forest, he is waiting for a meeting with the spirit of verse, who says he can spend it into paradise through the circles of purgatory and hell. The hero agrees and steps after healing through hell.

Behind the walls of hell is heard a moan of lost shower, which during the existence no good, nor evil. Then overlook the Ahern River. It is a place to transport the dead by Demon Charone to the first circle of hell, which is called Lamb. In Limbe, hold the souls of wise, writers, and kids who were not baptized. They suffer, since they have no way to heaven. Here, Dante was able to go through and talk with the famous writers and meets Homer.

Going down below, to the next circle of hell, the heroes are watching the Minos Demon, which is engaged in the definition of what kind of sinner to send. Here they see how the souls of creatures are worn somewhere. Among them, Elena is beautiful and Cleopatra who died as a result of their own passion.

On the third circle of hell, the travelers meet Cerber - Dog. In this circle in the mud in the rain there are souls of those whose sin is a glorification. Here Dante meets his countryman - Chakco, who asks the hero to make a reminder living on Earth about him. On the fourth circle there are a penalty for miser and those who were too waste, they are under the protection of the Plutos Demon. The fifth circle is the place of torment for those who were lazy and angry.

After the fifth circle, travelers find themselves near the tower, which is surrounded by a reservoir. Through it, they are moved through the Demon Flagia. Swimmed by reservoir, Dante and Vergiliy are in the hellish city of Dit, but they cannot get into it, as the city is guarding dead evident. The Heavenly Messenger helped them, who suddenly appeared at the entrance to the city and curbed the evil the dead. In the city in front of the travelers, tomb appeared in the fire, from where the stons of heretics came from. Before descending from the sixth round in the next circle, Virgil tells the hero about how the remaining three circles are arranged, which are beginning to narrow to the center of the earth.

The seventh circle is located in the middle of the mountains, under the guard of the minotaur. In the midst of this circle there is a blood flow raging, they are terribly tormented by those who were a robber or tyrant. Around there are thickets, these are the souls of those who commit suicide.

Next comes the eighth circle, which consists of 10 pvov, which are called malice. In each of them, the seductors of women, the lets, sorcerers, sorpants, bribery, thieves, insidious advisers and seats are tormented. In the tenth RVA, the travelers descended through the well and found themselves at the center of the globe. There, they appeared before the Ice Lake, where those who betrayed their relatives are attempting. In the center of the lake was Lucifer, the king of hell. From him passes a small passage, which leads to another hemisphere of the Earth. The travelers passed through it, and came to the fitting.

Purgatory

Once in purgatory, the travelers were washed in the water, and saw him hung up to him with souls who did not fall into hell, the angel was ruled. The travelers were inserted on it to the foot of the griming mountain. Here they managed to talk with those who, before died, managed to sincerely repent of sins and therefore did not come to hell. Next, the hero falls asleep, and it is transferred to the gates of purgatory.

Cordees, enviousness, obsessive angry, lazy, those who were too waste and stingy, wagons, and voluptipers are cleaned in purgatory from their sins. Having passed through the circles of this place, Dante gets to the wall, which is burning through which he must pass to get into paradise. Having passed this wall, Dante falls into paradise. He meets the elders of snow-white clothes, everyone is dancing and having fun. Here he notices his beloved Beatrice, and then deprived of feelings. In a moment, Dante wakes up in the river for the oblivion of sins - fly. The hero is suitable for an enervel, river that contributes to strengthening memory about her good, he ished away in it and now he is worthy to rise to the stars.

The journey of the hero now continues with his beloved, and they rise to heavenly circles. Immediately, they are found nuns, their souls who have forcibly married. Next, they saw the shining souls of righteous. The third sky is the souls of loving. The fourth sky is the habitat of the shower of the wise men. Next dwell souls are fair.

Travelers rose, finally, to the seventh heaven and found themselves on Saturn.

Further, the hero rose and began to talk with the spirits of the righteous about such concepts as love, faith and hope. On the ninth circle the first, which was opened by the travelers, was a sun point, which was a deity. Next, Dante ascended to empires, the highest point in the universe, where he saw the elder, then sent him even higher. The old man, whose name was Bernard, became Dante Teacher and together they stayed here where the souls of babies shine. Here, Dante saw a deity and gained the highest truth.

This work is difficult to understand the children, it leaves an indelible impression and useful for general development, but its volume is not even planted, so we offer a summary of the poem "Divine Comedy" for the reader's diary.

Plot

Dante meets Vergilia, an ancient poet that offers to go to the other world. They fall into hell, consisting of 9 circles descending down. In every circle, souls suffer for a certain sin. In the 9th circle they saw the devil himself. Then travelers fell in purgatory and passed through 7 of its circles. Then they rose into the sky and began to cross the circles of heaven - the moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, etc., meeting the souls of the righteous, until they reached the highest point of the universe, where the Most High was held. Then Dante returned to Earth.

Conclusion (my opinion)

Seeing that a man is waiting after death and as a trample of sinners, the hero has rethought a lot. The Most High sees everything and watches them, he is all knowing, and only he knows that in life a good, and what - evil. Following his orders and beware of his prohibitions, we will achieve happiness in both worlds.

He encourages the auto author, claiming that Beatrice itself condescens to him from Paradise to hell and asked to be a conductor in the wanders. Above the entrance to hell The inscription: "Leave the hope, everyone here is incoming!" At the entrance - the miserable souls of those who did not create a good one in his lifetime, nor evil. Next - the Aheron River, ishing the hell. Through it, Charon transports the dead on the boat. Haron first refuses to transport Dante, because he is alive. But Vergilus doubt the Terrible carrier. The first circle of hell - Lamb. Here the souls inhabit those who did not accept baptism, but did not make evil. Among them and versery. The glorious wise men and heroes of antiquity are not tormented, but they grieve that they do not have a place in paradise as non-Christians. Among them, Homer, Socrates, Aristotle, Plato ...

At the descent in the second round of the underground kingdom, the monstrous minos (king of the island of Crete) determines which the sinner should be left to hell. In the first circle of hell, like dry leaves, wears the swirl of the souls of those who did not know how to humble their love passions. Among them - Cleopatra and Elena are beautiful.

Dante's attention is attracted by Paolo and Francesca. Once, they first read the book about the love of the Knight Lancelot to the Queen of Ginevore. The passion took possession of them - "And on this day we did not read anymore ..." The legitimate spouse Frances found out about the treason of his wife and killed her in anger, and Paolo.

"... and the flour of their hearts
My man was covered with mortal later;
And I fell, as the dead man falls. "

Circle Third Guards Trigoline Dog Cerber. Here it is continuously ice rain, hail falls. In the dirt they suffer from sinful by increasing. In the fourth round, waste workers and buyers are tormented. Among the buyers are many spiritual persons, including Dad and Cardinals. This circle is protected by Plutos. Sinners, divided into two camps, ride each other huge boulders with screams:
- Why want to save?
- Is there any sense in the transit and motion?
Common between them, as those and other the main sense of life had money.

In the fifth round, those who were susceptible to sin of anger are tormented, as well as lazy, mired in the swamps of a non-Nizana. Anglery constantly fighting, putting the nails and teeth. The same, who all had a secret malice, choking in the depths of the fetid swamp.
The hellish city of Dita, the travelers met three Furi and many demons. Everywhere Dante sees the tomb embraced by the flame, of which the stones of heretics are coming. One of the heretics is Farina-Ta, proud and leggings. And in hell, he does not stop political disputes. "Your genus is my enemy!" - He shouts the poet. Circles of hell, as a tilted cone, narrow to the center of the Earth. The seventh circle is compressed by the mountains. He is guarded by the demo demo minotavr. In a boiling bloody stream, tyrants and robbers suffer. Centaurians shoot them from the shore from the onions.

Going with the help of Kentaur Ness via the stream, Dante saw prickly thickets without greens. He broke some kind of branch, and suddenly black blood was fitted out of it. Barrel groaned. It turned out that these bushes are the soul suicides. They are peeled by the hellish birds Garpia, causing unbearable pain. One trampleged bush asked the storytellor to collect broken bumps and return them to him. It turned out that the unfortunate - Dante countryman. I fulfilled his request, and the travelers went on. The sandy desert opened before them. On the sand from above the burning fiery rain, tormenting sinners. Sinflowers are moving, screaming and moan. Only one shadow is proudly, motionless. This is a drip - one of the ancient Greek kings. He threw the challenge to Zeus himself and was blunting lightning. The proud king does not complain: he or silent, or loudly swear gods. Vergilia accuses Kapaneya that he himself was guilty of his torment.

The seventh round is tormented by the usurists. Multicolored wallets with embroidered coat of arms are hanging from their neck.

The eighth circle is divided into ten pvv. In the first punish the summers and seductors of women those who inclined the girls to a love sin, and then threw them on the mercy of fate, condemn the shame and condemnation of parents and fellow citizens. The villains will begun horned demons. Among the seductors and the Greek hero, Jason, who led himself very dishonest towards women. Next - Lytz, who sit in a liquid weight of feces. SMRAD NESTERPIM! Also, discernibly will hammer and flattery, and any lie.

The third ditch is stone. In stone - deepening, of which the legs of high-ranking spiritual persons stick out. They traded church posts to ensure a luxurious life of themselves and their relatives. The heads and torso are hidden in stone. And the heels are glowing like torches. Dante talks with one of the Roman dads (Orsini), who claims that his successor is still the bandy bamonium dad ~ will also be subjected to such torture for its sales and care.
The fourth ditch is a place for jewelrs and sorcerers. They twisted the neck so that, sobbing, they irrigate their tears do not breast, but back. They falsely claimed that they could look into the future, and now they can only see what they have behind them. Vergilus condemns liars, the nose tells the sympathy about his countrywoman, a manot, who was named by Mantuya.

The fifth ditch is flooded with boiling resin. In her, black winged devils throw bribes.
In the sixth River, hypocrites are tamping under the severity of lead gilded clothes. The Jewish High Priests is nailed to the ground, the very thing that insisted on the execution of Christ. His heads of feet of the Pharisees in their heavy clothes.
In the middle of the cliffs, travelers in the seventh ditch are breeding. There are thieves who bite the monstrous poisonous snakes. From their bites, the robbers scatter in the dust, but they are immediately restored in their guise. Among them, in particular, Banny Fucci, who has robbed the sacristy and melted the blame on the other. He curses God, reed up two Kukisch.

Eighth. Here are the insidious advisers. Among them Odyssey (Ulysses). His soul is sharpened in the flame, possessing the gift of speech.

In the ninth RBU, the sakes of religious troubles and bloody discord are executed. The devil himself will deduce them with a heavy sword, cuts off noses and ears, crushes a skull. Magomet, and Kurion, who incited Caesar to the Civil War, suffers here, and the warrior troubadur Bertrand de Born. The latter is beheaded, and his head carries in his hand, like a lantern. Head exclaims: "Mount!"

In the tenth rally, Alchemists are making themselves from eternal ferrous. One of them was burned for what boasted, as if he could fly. Fakeholders and other lgs are executed here. Finally, the travelers approached the well leading from the eighth circle of hell in the ninth. There are ancient titans. Among them, Antei, at the request of Virgin, the travelers descended on his huge palm to the bottom of the well.

The ninth circle of hell is located near the center of the globe. This is an ice lake in which he had frozen their relatives. A terrible picture: a icy pit, in which one dead man gnaws the skull to another. This graph of Ugolino Mstutus who had betrayed him to his to be like-minded, Archbishop Rujerry. Archbishop Deli Count and his children hunger, sharpening them in the Pisan Tower. Unbearable were their suffering, the children died in the eyes of the Father, who died last. In the very center of the Earth there is a frozen Lucifer's rule in the ice, lowered from heaven. Lucifer has three grazers. From the first one sticks out the most terrible traitor - Judas, which betrayed Christ. In the second and third there are betrayed Caesar Brut and Cassius. Horngingly seen in hell, Vergil and Dante climbed to the surface and saw the stars.

Vergil leads Dante on fixing. Angel draws seven letters on Dante's forehead - signs of seven mortal sins. In each circle, the purulent of Dante is cleaned from one of the sins. In the first - sin of pride is replaced by the virtue of humility. In the second circle, the sin of enviousness is cleared by the ability to enjoy the success of another person.
In the third round, angry - they will enhance them impenetrable smoke: so in his life they blinded the malice. The higher the Dante rises, the easier it is to go, the more strength, because the angel erases the letters denoting sins from his forehead, the sin of the despondency, the sin of misappropriation, the sin of the heated (increments) ...

Cleansing the fire of Dante is not without fear, but still overcomes the wall of the flame.
Vergil disappears, and Dante's satellite on a journey in paradise becomes Beatrice. She is washes him in the waters of the sacred river, leads it higher and higher. Angels, Archangels, Serafima are the enlightened eyes of the poet. Finally, he sees the virgin Mary "on the petals of the heavenly rose", in the crown of shining rays.

The brightest, final vision: God-Father, Son's God and the Holy Spirit - the Divine "Love that drives the sun and shining."
