What is Valley of the Dead (the Truth Behind Dante's Inferno) about?
Working from Dantes Inferno to draw out the reality behind the fantasy, author Kim Paffenroth unfolds the horrifying true events that led Dante to fictionalize the account of his lost years For seventeen years of his life, the exact whereabouts of the medieval Italian poet Dante Alighieri are unknown to modern scholars. It is known that during this time he traveled as an exile across Europe, working on his epic poem, The Divine Comedy. In his masterpiece he describes a journey through the three realms of the afterlife. The most famous of its three volumes, Inferno, describes hell. During his lost wanderings, Dante stumbled upon an infestation of the living dead. The unspeakable acts he witnessed cannibalism, live burnings, evisceration, crucifixion, and dozens morebecame the basis of all the horrors described in Inferno. Afraid to be labeled a madman, Dante made the terrors he experienced into a more believable account of an otherworldly adventure filled with demons and mythological monsters. But at last, the real story can finally be told. Library : Horror Formats : EPUB ISBN : 1934861316
