Information sur l'oeuvreInferno Revealed: From Dante to Dan Brown par Deborah Parker (2013)
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On the other hand, I have never read a page of Dan Brown; and this book did nothing to make me want to change that. While Brown may have drawn on a highly respectable source for his inspiration, the Parkers, perhaps unintentionally, make it clear that he had a rather imprecise understanding of Dante's depiction of Hell. The one reservation I have about _Inferno Revealed_, then, is its degree of focus on Brown. I'm afraid that the cynical thought occurred to me that his name was included on the cover in part to capitalize on his popularity. I would have preferred to have seen less material devoted to Brown's _Inferno_ and more time allotted to the other, arguably more interesting, derivative works. ![]() ![]() aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Using Dan Brown's book as a jumping off point,Inferno Revealedwill provide readers of Brown'sInfernowith an engaging introduction to Dante and his world. Much like the books on Leonardo that followed the release of theDa Vinci Code, this book will provide readers with more information about the ever-intriguing Dante. Specifically,Inferno Revealed explores how Dante made himself the protagonist ofThe Divine Comedy, something no other epic poet has done, a move for which the ramifications have not yet been fully explored. The mysteries and puzzles that arise from Dante's choice to personalize the epic, along with his affinity for his local surroundings and how that affects his depiction of the places, Church, and politics in the poem are considered--along with what this reveals about Brown's own usage of the work. The authors will focus on and analyze how Dan Brown has repurposedInferno in his newest book--noting what he gets right and what errors are made when he does not. Of course, Dan Brown is not the first author to base his work on Dante.The Comedy has elicited many adaptations from major canonical writers such as Milton and Keats to popular adaptations like David Fincher'sSe7enand Tim Burton'sBeetlejuice-- all of which will be discussed in detail within Inferno Revealed.
