It unfolds an imaginary conversation between two characters in a dream: a sincere heathen dreamer and the spirit of his revered poet, Dante (1265- 1321), the author of The Divine Comedy. The Divine Comedy of Dante inspired the present work to follow its form and substance as much as it is possible by a novice.
