Type Novel
Series Divina Commedia #2

From {{A|S. Fowler Wright}}'s introduction to his English translation of this epic: "In the second part of [The Divine Comedy], THE PURGATORIO, Dante climbs out of the pit of Hell with the guidance of the ancient Roman poet, Virgil, who then takes him on a journey up the mountain of Purgatory. Here we find the souls of those who died in sin, but whose transgressions have not placed them irredeemably beyond the saving grace of God's mercy. Sooner or later, they WILL reach Heaven."
