The inferno is the first part of Dante's Divine comedy, a great classic of Italian literature. While the narrative is complex, the central idea is simple. Guided by the poet Virgil, Dante traverses the nine circles of Hell to reunite with his beloved Beatrice in Paradise. Paul and Gaetan Brizzi have done a remarkable job of rewriting to make this renowned and challenging work accessible without compromising or betraying the spirit of the Italian genius. They have translated it into a graphic novel while being sure to preserve the essentials: a taste for excess, the dramatic tension of the narrative, and the inevitable darkness of the subject matter.
