Una magistral obra de suspense mundialmente aclamada. Boston, 1865. Importantes personalidades estacute;n siendo brutalmente asesinadas por un criminal inspirado en los tormentos del Infierno de Dante. Soacute;lo los miembros del club Dante --poetas y profesores de Harvard dirigidos por Henry Wadsworth Longfellow-- pueden anticiparse al asesino e identificarle. Mientras preparan la primera traduccioacute;n americana de iLa divina comedia/i enfrentaacute;ndose a la oposicioacute;n de la puritana vieja guardia de Harvard, los intelectuales deberaacute;n convertirse en detectives y pasar a la accioacute;n.
pNicholas Ray, el primer policiacute;a negro del departamento de Boston, dirigiraacute; la investigacioacute;n oficial mientras los miembros del club llevan a cabo sus insoacute;litas pesquisas. Un dantesco infierno medieval se cierne sobre las calles de la ciudad, en una eacute;poca que toca a su fin, convulsa por la recieacute;n terminada guerra civil, el asesinato del presidente Lincoln y los disturbios raciales.
pComparada insistentemente con iEl nombre de la rosa/i, de Umberto Eco, aclamada por la criacute;tica con una unanimidad asombrosa y refrendada por el puacute;blico con su presencia en las listas de los libros maacute;s vendidos de iNew York Times, Boston Globe, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian/i, entre otros, iEl club Dante/i (http://www.seix-barral.es/club-dante) estaacute; a punto de ser publicada en veintiuacute;n paiacute;ses antes de ser llevada al cine. Matthew Pearl ha logrado un equilibrio perfecto entre realidad y ficcioacute;n, una novela histoacute;rica de suspense que sorprende de principio a fin.
