Book about hell or something like that?

Question

I remember watching on History channel or A&E channel that there was a book written a LONG time ago about a journey through hell.  I've been looking stuff up and I keep running across Dante's Inferno but for some reason, that doesn't sound right.  I remember seeing it at a Barnes & Noble store where all the classic books are located.  If it is Dante's Inferno, then just ignore this question, but if it is something else, please let me know.  I thought it would be really interesting to read something like that.  I heard a lot of people say that it is very captivating and so real, it feels like you have been there yourself.

Just looking for a good read.

Thanks

Quite easily Dante's Inferno; it's the first part of "The Divine Comedy" (the other parts are Purgatorio and Paradiso).  Dante is led through the 9 levels of hell.  And yes, the Inferno was very well written.  i read it as a senior in high school, and it wowed me.  Definitely pick it up if you get the chance.  Not exactly biblically informed writing, but a very interesting concept.
