We're continuing to read through my English translation of INFERNO--which you can find on my website: markscarbough.com.
But I hope you don't. I hope you sit back and enjoy the work for what it is at its core: a story.
Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we pass through the eighth and ninth evil pouches of fraud, the vast eighth circle of INFERNO. We'll see Ulysses, Guido da Montefeltro, Mohammed, the poet Bertran de Born, and a host of schismatics, all ripped to pieces by a demon in their pit.
Doesn't sound very pleasant, does it? But these are passages from our great poet Dante, working at the height of his (ever-increasing) powers. The journey defies belief, but not the imagination.
