On the
day of me having celebrated the living years in my lifetime, I had embarked on
the challenge of doing an adaption of the Divine Comedy (The Divine
Comedy (Italian: Divina Commedia [diˈviːna komˈmɛːdja]) is a long
Italian narrative
poem by Dante
Alighieri, begun c. 1308 and
completed in 1320, a year before his death in 1321.) or you can read it
here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy
Initially, it looked like fun
to adapt that. I had the storyline had differed to the future with a glimpse of
scifi. But what I did not bargain for was the reference to the belief then. I
did read articles on the Divine Comedy but nothing prepared me for the depth of
the tale, and its relevance to God.
Okay, no major issue there. I
had my tale adapted, and after a series of more readings and writing, I have
done what I will call Part One. In the original tale, there are 99 Cantos split
equally into 33 Cantos per part; Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. I did up to
13 Canto for Part One of Hell over a month of reading and writing, at 37,469
words.
Beforehand, I have to convey
my apologies if I may have offended anyone in the faith on the references in my
tale. This is not the Divine Comedy but an adaption and there were changes
to its contents.
Soon I hope you will read it
for the literary works.
Cheers
