Descripción editorial
Når man åbner en roman af Dan Brown, suges man ind i et univers af historie, hemmeligheder, kunst, koder og symboler. Med megabestsellerne Da Vinci Mysteriet, Engle og dæmoner og Det forsvundne tegn har Dan Brown vist, at hans evne til at skabe dette fascinerende og spændingsmættede univers er enestående. Og med Inferno gør han det igen, mere nervepirrende end nogensinde før.
I hjertet af Italien trækkes symbolforskeren Robert Langdon ind i en nervepirrende verden, som samler sig omkring et af historiens mest fascinerende, dystre og mystiske litterære mesterværker – Dantes Inferno. Langdon er oppe mod en uhyggelig modstander og kæmper med koder og symboler som fører ham dybt ind i klassisk kunst, hemmelige korridorer og avanceret videnskab. Gennem en hæsblæsende jagt, hvor det er umuligt at afgøre, hvem han kan stole på, kæmper Langdon for at finde svar – før det er for sent, og verden uigenkaldeligt vil være forandret.
En unik cocktail af hæsblæsende underholdning og forrygende spænding .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The threat of world overpopulation is the latest assignment for Brown's art historian and accidental sleuth Robert Langdon. Awakening in a Florence hospital with no memory of the preceding 36 hours, Langdon and an attractive attending physician with an oversized intellect are immediately pursued by an ominous underground organization and the Italian police. Detailed tours of Florence, Venice, and Istanbul mean to establish setting, but instead bog down the story and border on showoffmanship. Relying on a deceased villain's trail of clues threaded through the text of Dante's The Divine Comedy, the duo attempt to unravel the events leading up to Langdon's amnesia and thwart a global genocide scheme. Suspension of disbelief is required as miraculous coincidences pile upon pure luck. Near the three-quarters point everything established gets upended and Brown, hoping to draw us in deeper, nearly drives us out. Though the prose is fast-paced and sharp, the burdensome dialogue only serves plot and back story, and is interspersed with unfortunate attempts at folksy humor. It's hard not to appreciate a present day mega-selling thriller that attempts a refresher course in Italian literature and European history. But the real mystery is in the book's denouement and how Brown can possibly bring his hero back for more.
