A modern day retelling of Dante's 'Inferno'. Doesn't name names like the original but well worth reading. This is my second time reading the book. ( ) I had this on and off the list for decades I guess. I decided to listen to it since it was short and I needed something to cleanse my pallet after previous book. I was not sure if it would offend me or not but it did not considering the source. I guess the best part of the book was getting to learn about the source material (Dante Inferno) which I had not every read. Otherwise I did not find much about this book that impressed me but I did want to see how it ended. Fortunately it was short so I did not get bored. I finished Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle's Inferno, but I have to listen to it again. I know about Dante's Inferno and have read books that have spoken quite a bit about it, but nothing like this.* There are so many things I could write, but I don't want to spoil the book. You don't need any background in history or theology or sociology, let alone philosophy or ethics, but you will enjoy it more. * I put it in my listening queue. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: An unearthly voice hisses unholy welcome, and the late, great Allen Carpentier begins his one-way journey into the dim nether regions where flame-colored demons wield diabolically sharp pitchforks and tormented vixens reign forever in a pond of sheet ice. Here, in this land of torment and terror, he discovers the amazing truth of the ultimate adventure that lies beyond the grave. After being thrown out of the window of his luxury apartment, science fiction writer Allen Carpentier wakes to find himself at the gates of Hell. Feeling he's landed in a great opportunity for a book, he attempts to follow Dante's road map. Determined to meet Satan himself, Carpentier treks through the nine circles of Hell, led by Benito Mussolini, and encounters countless mental and physical tortures. As he struggles to escape, he's taken through new, puzzling, and outlandish versions of sin recast for the present day. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
