Dr. Esolen does a magnificent job taking a complicated work and making it truly accessible to all. Like most people, I’m most familiar with the Inferno, but give this course a listen and I’m betting that the Purgatorio will become your new favorite. The insights provided are truly inspiring — it is the “most earthly” of the canticles and the one that is most applicable to our lives today. Listen with your ears and your heart, and you’ll see how this poem can truly change your life.
