Fall LTC Reading Group of Dante's Divine Comedy

Our tour of the epic genre continues this year with a reading of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Dante’s masterpiece takes in all realms of the human experience—politics, philosophy, religion, psychology, history, art, and science—in the course of an allegorical journey through the medieval afterlife. Readers of all backgrounds and persuasions will enjoy this remarkable work, and we hope you will join us for what promises to be a very lively and enjoyable reading group. We begin this fall term with the Inferno and anticipate readings of the Purgatorio and Paradiso to follow in subsequent terms. Facilitated by Chico Zimmerman, this group meets October 8, 29, and November 12 with refreshments provided.

Date: Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Time: 4:30 pm

Duration: 1 hour, 30 minutes

Location: Headley House, 815 East Second Street, Northfield

Contact: Charlene Hamblin, Perlman Center for Learning and Teaching, x4192
