In this episode we're having our good friend Tom LA Books back for a conversation about the Big Picture of the Divine Comedy! 

We'll talk about how we can see some of the major themes of this overall picture in the contrast between Ulysses' "Mad Flight" in Inferno, and the beginning of the Journey in Paradiso. We'll also touch on philosophy, theology, psychology, practical life-advice from Dante, how life can change around 30, and countless small points and ideas of wisdom and beauty everywhere in the Comedy.

Catch Tom's next video, and follow his Journey through Paradise!
