Along the way, travel through Dante’s Italy, where poetry meets theology; Cervantes’s Spain, the birthplace of chivalric adventures and satire; Dostoevsky’s Russia, a land of moral struggle and spiritual depth; and Jane Austen’s England, a world of wit, manners, and enduring truths about the human heart.
