The Inferno (Signet Classics)

Author: 
Dante Alighieri
ISBN: 
0451527984

Scientific, humorous, political and moralistic; Dante puts it all into one little book. It is really worth reading once, so you can know which ring of hell to assign all the bastards you meet out there! For instance: with the current housing bubble crisis, the usurious lenders are assigned to the seventh circle, a desert of flaming sand with fiery flakes raining from the sky. :)
