What is the real truth behind the mysteries of Dan Brown's latest
blockbuster thriller?
In this illuminating unofficial companion to Dan Brown's Inferno,
popular historian Michael Haag, author of the bestselling Rough
Guide to the Da Vinci Code, unpacks Dante's allegorical poetic
masterpiece of the same name, delivering fascinating, crucial
background for the characters, settings, and riddles in Brown's
controversial and compel-ling world. How do the clues unveiled in
symbology professor Robert Langdon's daring quest from Florence to
Venice and Istanbul overlap with history? What codes and symbols
did Dante employ in the Divine Comedy and which secret religious,
philosophical, and scientific themes are hidden within his work?
What lies behind Botticelli's "La Mappa dell'Inferno"? And what are
the cult scientists known as transhumanists really up to?
Inferno Decoded is a book that ranges as widely as Dan Brown's
novel, from the terrors of the Black Death to the scientific
debates around pop-ulation growth and prolonging of life-spans, and
from the economic, political, and religious tumult in Florence at
the dawn of the Renais-sance to real-life locations in Florence,
Venice, and Istanbul today. It is a must-read for anyone who has
read Inferno and wondered just how its enigmatic questions are real
or relevant.
