Dante's Inferno before the game...

Dante's Inferno was a book and a poem before the game was made right??
I am interested in reading them, but I want to make sure I am right

yea.. i read dante's inferno a few months ago.. VERY confusing.. you HAVE to get one with commentary otherwise u will be completely lost.

Dante's Inferno is extremely loosely based on The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, which was written ~600 years ago.

In essence it's one gigantic poem about the narrators travels through Hell, and it is a very good read.

EDIT: The first section called Inferno is where he travels through Hell. You can guess what happens in Purgatorio and Paradiso.

Quite right, though I'm ashamed to say I skipped the Heaven part. :( Just wasn't as interesting.

P.S. Started reading A Game of Thrones again. With any luck I was drastically wrong in my first assessment.

Yes. But it's nothing like the game at all. The poem is good.Theokhoth
