Resumen:

In the Hand of Dante : In this exuberantly acclaimed bestseller, Nick Tosches tells the tale of two odysseys: the efforts of Dante Alighieri to weave out of the grossness of his own humanity a poem that contains the sum of the world's wisdom and the very breath of the divine, and the deadly struggle, seven centuries later, to possess an object of inestimable value - the manuscript of The Divine Comedy written in Dante's own hand. Widely hailed as a work of astounding audacity and beauty, the novel draws on Nick Tosche's vast scholarship about the Middle Ages and an intimate knowledge of the most degenerate lowlifes of New York's toughest streets. It is the masterwork of a writer long recognized as one of America's most gifted prose stylists and now increasingly celebrated as one of our finest writers.
