Description

The Adventure is an afterlife voyage like The Divine Comedy. Dante had the law of symbolic retribution and distinct places to put people. The Adventure has neither. If you seek a guiding principle, its more or less this: whoever you are, what youll get isexactly and in detailwhat you want.
