Når man åbner en roman af Dan Brown, suges man ind i et univers af historie, hemmeligheder, kunst, koder og symboler. Med megabestsellerne Da Vinci Mysteriet , Engle og dæmoner og Det forsvundne tegn har Dan Brown vist, at hans evne til at skabe dette fascinerende og spændingsmættede univers er enestående. Og med Inferno gør han det igen, mere nervepirrende end nogensinde før. I hjertet af Italien trækkes symbolforskeren Robert Langdon ind i en nervepirrende verden, som samler sig omkring et af historiens mest fascinerende, dystre og mystiske litterære mesterværker – Dantes Inferno. Langdon er oppe mod en uhyggelig modstander og kæmper med koder og symboler som fører ham dybt ind i klassisk kunst, hemmelige korridorer og avanceret videnskab. Gennem en hæsblæsende jagt, hvor det er umuligt at afgøre, hvem han kan stole på, kæmper Langdon for at finde svar – før det er for sent, og verden uigenkaldeligt vil være forandret. En unik cocktail af hæsblæsende underholdning og forrygende spænding.___________________ANMELDELSER:“Dan Brown bringer læseren på bristepunktet af spænding – ikke bare ved at lægge et brødkrumme-spor ud om Dante (det her er jo faktisk Inferno), men også ved at lege med tid, køn, identitet, berømte turistattraktioner og futuristisk medicin.” – New York Times“Dan Browns stærkeste side er, at han kan skabe drama, mystik og godt flow. Han er ferm til at danne samme optiske bedrag i teksten, som han selv lader Langdon afkode i fortællingen. Som læser trækkes man rundt i den Brownske manege, og man er godt underholdt. De uindviede bliver oven i købet klogere på Dante, ligesom alle får stof til eftertanke omkring verdens tilstand.” 4 af 6 stjerner – Berlingske“Dan Brown er drevent dygtig til at dirigere sit plots logistik, skære kapitlerne episk til passende montager og netop aldrig gøre sine lærde indfald for lange. Dernæst er der hos Brown en ækte ærkeamerikansk begejstring for gamle Europa, der er gribende smittende i al sin simpelhed.” 4/6 stjerner – Politiken “Jeg giver bogen 5 stjerner ud af 5 for så god og spændende er den plus det tvist som kommer sent i bogen får én til at sidde og sige “ah hva´???”" 5/5 stjerner - medicdk.blogspot.dk/ “Ligesom i sine tidligere bøger har forfatteren gjort sin research, og hans store viden om Dante, Firenze, Medicierne, genmanipulation, overbefolkning og transhumanisme, … fylder siderne og gør én klog på mangt og meget, mens man ganske spændt vender siderne i den 500 sider lange bog” – InformationDan Brown disker igen op med en forrygende cocktail af spænding, skjulte symboler og som noget nyt – et tankevækkende og ganske moralsk provokerende tema. – Litteratursiden“Endnu en hæsblæsende og effektiv menneskejagt med Robert Langdon.” 4/6 stjerner – JyllandsPosten

Describing Dante's descent into Hell with Virgil as a guide, Inferno depicts a cruel underworld in which desperate figures are condemned to eternal damnation for committing one or more of seven deadly sins.

His first major work was La Vita Nuova (1292), a tribute to Beatrice Portinari, the great love of his life who had died two years earlier. In 1302, Dante's political activism resulted in his being exiled from Florence. After years of wandering, he settled in Ravenna and in about 1307 began writing The Divine Comedy . Dante died in 1321. Robin Kirkpatrick is a poet and widely-published Dante scholar. He has taught courses on Dante's Divine Comedy in Hong Kong, Dublin and Cambridge, where is Fellow of Robinson College and Professor of Italian and English Literatures.

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here” read the now-famous words above the gate through which Dante, the protagonist of Inferno, crosses the threshold. But that forbidding inscription applies only to those without faith; and though Dante's journey through the nine circles of Hell begins with terror and confusion, it ends with an understanding of the divine plan and the realization of divine love. Along the way, Dante meets an array of sinners from Christian and classical history and legend--a fascinating cast of characters that has intrigued and instructed readers since Inferno was first published in 1317.

“Midway upon the journey of our life I found myself within a forest dark, For the straightforward pathway had been lost.” In Inferno, the first of the three books in his Divine Comedy, the poet Dante, adrift spiritually and emotionally in life, journeys down to Hell. Accompanied by the poet Virgil, Dante travels through all nine circles of the realm, meeting an array of sinners from Christian and classical history and legend. The terror and confusion he experiences ultimately give way to an understanding of the divine plan and the realization of divine love. Written in the 14th century, Dante’s epic poem is a masterful meditation on the personal search for spiritual redemption. This fully illustrated edition features more than seventy engravings by Gustave Doré that bring the horrors and the majesty of Dante’s creation vividly to life.

*** THE FINAL EPIC IN THE NERO TRIOLOGY *** The throne is never safe ... especially in Rome AD 60. Rome stands at the height of its power – glittering with wealth, drowning in intrigue. On Palatine Hill, Nero Claudius Caesar rules as Emperor, a young man adored for his beauty and brilliance, feared for his temper, intoxicated by his own power. His empire stretches from the wilds of Britain to the deserts of Parthia, yet his enemies are never far: generals who command legions, senators who whisper in corridors, a people who cheer him in the circus but curse him on the streets. Nero has learned that power is never shared, only seized. He has seen off enemies before, not least his mother, Agrippina. Yet now Boudicca, queen of the Iceni, leads a revolt in the North. Closer to home, Gaius Julius Vindex, Roman by office but Gallic by blood, denounces Nero’s corruption and declares open rebellion against the Emperor from Gaul. Rome is a city that devours its rulers. As the first sparks of revolt alight beyond its walls, an empire built on fire begins to burn from within . . .
