Inferno (Versione italiana)
Inferno (Versione italiana) | Dan Brown
Il profilo inconfondibile di Dante che ci guarda dalla copertina il motore mobile di un thriller che di "infernale" ha molto. Il ritmo, prima di tutto, e poi il simbolismo acceso, e infine la complessit dei personaggi che conducono a un esito raro per i romanzi d'azione: instillare nel lettore il fascino del male, addirittura la sua salvifica necessit. Non affatto sorprendente che lo studioso di simbologia Robert Langdon sia un esperto di Dante, anzi. naturale che al poeta fiorentino e alla visionariet con cui tradusse in forme solenni e oscure la temperie della sua epoca tormentata il professore americano abbia dedicato studi e corsi universitari ad Harvard. E quindi normale che a Firenze Robert Langdon sia di casa, che il David e piazza della Signoria, il giardino di Boboli e Palazzo Vecchio siano per lui uno sfondo familiare, una costellazione culturale e affettiva ben diversa dal palcoscenico turistico percorso in tutti i sensi di marcia da legioni di visitatori. Ma ora tutto diverso, non c' niente di normale, nulla che possa rievocare una dolce abitudine. Questa volta un incubo e la sua conoscenza della citt fin nei labirinti delle stradine, dei corridoi dei palazzi, dei passaggi segreti pu aiutarlo a salvarsi la vita. Il Robert Langdon che si sveglia in una stanza d'ospedale, stordito, sedato, ferito alla testa, gli abiti insanguinati su una sedia, ricorda infatti a stento il proprio nome, non capisce come sia arrivato a Firenze, chi abbia tentato di ucciderlo e perch i suoi inseguitori non sembrino affatto intenzionati a mollare il colpo. Barcollante, la mente invasa da apparizioni mostruose che ricordano la Morte Nera che flagell l'Europa medievale e simboli criptici connessi alla prima cantica del Divino poema, le labbra capaci di articolare, nel delirio dell'anestetico, soltanto un incongruo "very sorry", il professore deve scappare. E, aiutato solo dalla giovane dottoressa Sienna Brooks, soccorrevole ma misteriosa come troppe persone e cose intorno a lui, deve scappare da tutti. Comincia una caccia all'uomo in cui schieramenti avversi si potrebbero ritrovare dalla stessa parte, in cui niente quel che sembra: un'organizzazione chiamata Consortium ambigua tanto quanto un movimento detto Transumanesimo e uno scienziato come Bertrand Zobrist pu elaborare teorie che oscillano tra utopia e aberrazione. Alla fine di un'avventura che raggiunge momenti di insostenibile tensione, Dan Brown ci rivela come nel nostro mondo la distanza tra il bene e il male sia breve in maniera davvero inquietante, catastrofe e salvezza possano essere questione di punti di vista e anche da una laguna a cielo coperto si possa uscire a riveder le stelle.

Best I can say for this month‘s #bookspin read is I cleared off a TBR book. It had been left behind by a family member after staying with me. My 2nd Dan Brown and just not impressed. It was like viewing a slideshow of my grandparents‘ European travels. Lots of cathedrals and artwork and little historical anecdotes. Great for a travelogue! But Brown adds a plot that wasn‘t very suspenseful and didn‘t hang together well. Adding a ⭐️ for Dante. 3/5

I picked this as an audiobook because it‘s the only Dan Brown book I haven‘t read yet. Little did I realize it involves issues with overpopulation and the problems with distribution of resources (that could end civilization) and a potential plague/pandemic that might devastate our future😳🥺. Hits close! Not my favorite Brown book but still lots of great art/science facts and enough action to keep you turning the pages! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

With the plot being focused on plagues, an over populated world and PCR tests I felt like I was reading this at the right time. I appreciated the content and discussions much more having lived through 2020.

Dan Brown is also fabulous at setting the scene, I could visualise every piece of architecture he described. In a way I feel like I've been on holiday!

An excellent read that totally engrossed me.

119 of 2020. This was the last book in this series for me to read. I read them out of order which normally drives me nuts, but it was fine in this case. Not my favorite of the series, but a good read nonetheless. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

📖 > 🎥
The movie as a stand alone movie was pretty good. As an adaptation of the book, it‘s TOTAL GARBAGE!!! Two good characters were turned bad. Useless characters were added to the end. The ending was entirely changed. Basically, the book and the movie took a beginning and then did their own things from there. Half the suspense of the book was lost in the first minutes of the movie when they revealed who the “solders” are.

GingerAntics THE BOOK IS *WAY* BETTER. Compared to the rest of the movie series, this one diverged much more from the book and in ways that are far more important/detrimental to the plot. Of the three, this movie is by far the worst. I like the other two movies, but I probably won‘t be watching this one again. #DanBrown #RobertLangdonSeries #Inferno #thebookisbetter (edited) 4y

This book is amazingly poignant for this moment in time. No one purposely released COVID 19, but the discussion of viruses, the WHO, even apathy is just so perfect right now. Another great Robert Langdon story, great for escaping the madness of current events. This book made me want to read Dante the first time Around. Maybe this time I‘ll actually read it.

GingerAntics @Graywacke you‘ve read Dante, haven‘t you? Did you read all three or just Inferno? 4y
Graywacke @GingerAntics One of my 2020 projects. I‘m still working through. Paradise is next. But definitely recommend. He‘s fun and Inferno is especially memorable. 4y
GingerAntics @Graywacke I don‘t think anyone has ever described Dante as fun to me before. I almost read Inferno when the high school I was working at assigned it to the AP English class. I don‘t remember why I didn‘t read it that time either. Did you read the signet classic edition/Ciardi translation or the Longfellow translation? 4y

Graywacke @GingerAntics oh, he is fun. Not funny fun, but still. I‘m using the Hollander translation (and love it - Italian and English on facing pages with extensive notes) 4y
GingerAntics @Graywacke oh my, I‘ll have to see if I can get my hands on that one then. 4y
GingerAntics @Graywacke the translation thing is starting to get crazy. It seems everyone and their brother has an opinion and I‘m not sure anyone agrees. There are verse versions and prose versions and hardline opinions on which are inherently superior. I think I‘m going to have to sample a little of a few of them and see which one seems like it will work for now. I think I‘d prefer verse over prose. It almost seems lazy to turn poetry to prose. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 4y
Graywacke @GingerAntics i kind of worked through that, but had and have no strong opinion. It‘s of course really difficult to rhyme in English like Italian. Hollander is verse, but reads very much like prose. I like Hollander largely because the notes are helpful. It reads nicely too. I think as long as you avoid 19th century hurt-my-brain translations you‘ll be fine. 4y
GingerAntics @Graywacke 🤣 my thoughts exactly. I‘ve heard that‘s a huge drawback of the Longfellow edition. Hollander does read very nicely. The Ciardi doesn‘t read badly by any means, the Hollander just seems a bit smoother, for lack of a better word. 4y

This has been sitting in my #TBR for a very long time. I‘m glad I finally got around to reading it. I have been on a Robert Langdon kick recently. This was another solid entry in the series. At first, I didn‘t think I liked it quite as much. As I continued to read, I was drawn into the story.

I‘ve been working my way through the Robert Langdon books and while they‘re a bit formulaic and repetitive with the protagonist characterization, I love the puzzles and “let‘s save the world” excitement. I really love the art history and architecture research and I‘m constantly looking up pieces the author refers to. I especially love that I get to revisit places I‘ve been in my travels, in this book Florence and Istanbul.

Such an insane story- A genius takes the problem of overpopulation and finds a solution that he‘s trying to force on the world. In the race to stop his cure for overpopulation, we follow our characters on an incredible chase, trying to solve the puzzle he has left behind before it is too late. I know some people have an odd stigma against Dan Brown, but I fall more in love with his writing with each book of his I read, this one being no exception.

carolinereadsbooks I've never understood Dan Brown hate. I thought this one was really gripping - and that ending!! 6y

"The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis." Hardly before a antagonist seemed so convincing, a plot so intricate, a story so engaging at the same time..but that's Dan Brown for you.
Overall, I think this is a book that can justify the attention that is demands. Highly recommended if you're interested in all things grand.

I‘m currently reading Inferno by Dan Brown. I love searching the internet for the art that is referenced in his books. This is Dante Alighieri‘s death mask. I find it incredibly creepy. Not something I‘d want in my home.
