We're continuing to read INFERNO for what it truly is: a glorious plot, the story of a guy who wakes up lost and walks across the known universe.

Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we walk with him through the first of the evil pouches of fraud: the panderers/seducers, the flatterers, the simoniacs, and the diviners.

This translation is my own. You can find it on my website: markscarbrough.com. But I wish you wouldn't. I wish you'd just sit back and revel in the plot. It's a marvel of the imagination.
