This book is an essay that focuses on the importance of Dante's "Divine Comedy". The essay discusses how the "Divine Comedy" is a landmark in history, as it is not just a magnificent poem but also the beginning of a language and the opening of national literature. The essay also discusses the mystery of the creative process and how Dante's work has become a permanent feature of the world's literature. The essay is followed by a translation of Dante's "De Monarchia" by F.J. Church. The "De Monarchia" is a work of political speculation that discusses the medieval idea of the Empire and should be compared with the "De Regimine Principum" by Thomas Aquinas.
