Inferno: Immersing ourselves in Dante's hell.
Inferno is a work of suspense and mystery that introduces us to the world of symbology, art and history. Can you imagine that you had to solve an enigma based on the most famous work of Italian literature, The Divine Comedy, while you are pursued throughout Europe by enemies willing to do anything to prevent you from saving the world from a biological threat? The protagonist, Robert Langdon, an expert in religious symbology from Harvard University, who wakes up in a hospital in Florence without remembering anything that has happened to him. He soon discovers that he has a gunshot wound to the head and that someone wants to kill him. With the help of Sienna Brooks, a young doctor who saves his life, Langdon escapes from the hospital and finds a strange object in his jacket: a projector that shows a modified version of Botticelli's Map of Hell, inspired by the Hell of Dante.
Langdon realizes that this object is a clue left by someone who knows his work and that he wants him to discover a secret that can change the destiny of humanity. This is Bertrand Zobrist, a scientific genius and billionaire who has created a lethal virus that threatens to reduce the world's population by half, following the idea that hell is too many people on the planet. Zobrist has committed suicide, but first he has hidden the virus somewhere and left a series of clues based on Dante's work for someone to find and stop him.
Langdon and Sienna embark on a dangerous race against time that will take them through the most emblematic places of Florence, Venice and Istanbul, following the trail of symbols, works of art and characters related to Dante's Inferno. But they will not be alone in their search: a mysterious organization called The Consortium, which worked for Zobrist, will pursue them to fulfill their client's will. In addition, they will have to face international health authorities, who also want to find the virus and avoid a catastrophe.
Inferno is a novel with an unstoppable pace, a plot full of action, intrigue and surprises, and characters that will make you live their adventure as if it were your own. Dan Brown demonstrates his talent for combining fiction with reality, creating a story that will make you discover the most hidden secrets of Dante's work, the art of Botticelli and the history of Florence.
