Some works are so old, so good, so universal, we categorize them as classics. Such is the case with anything written by Dante. Take The Divine Comedy. It's always worth reading. Even in patches. A sampling will do to create an entire pie, and from the reading of just a couple of lines one can imagine the whole.
Like most classics, The Divine Comedy delves deeply into they human psyche and, even with the passing of centuries, the work tells us much about contemporary life. These works do, in ways scarcely noted, have the ability to teach and inform.
It doesn't take long to read The Divine Comedy. It just goes up like a tinder blaze and one is consumed by it.
Perhaps that's what makes it so funny . . . and so true.
