To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Purgatory is the second realm of the dead, where "the human spirit is purified, and becomes worthy to ascend to heaven. " In the first realm descent is made to the left, and the horrors increase with the descent; in Purgatory the ledges are ascended to the right, and purification is complete when the Earthly Paradise is reached at the summit. Revolving about the earth are the heavens of the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the Fixed Stars, and the Crystalline Heaven. Beyond... is the motionless Empyrean, or Heaven of Pure Light, where dwell all the redeemed and the Eternal One, mover of the Universe. However fantastic this general scheme may seem to our age, to Dante and his age it was real. The women of Ravenna observed the poet, we are told, as he walked their streets, and they wondered at the man who had been in Hell. Dante's intense earnestness and sincerity have impressed all his readers. He makes the unseen world real ; what he felt we feel, and what he saw we see.
