Una magistral obra de suspense mundialmente aclamada. Boston, 1865. Importantes personalidades est´n siendo brutalmente asesinadas por un criminal inspirado en los tormentos del Infierno de Dante. Sólo 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 traducción americana de La divina comedia enfrentándose a la oposición de la puritana vieja guardia de Harvard, los intelectuales deberán convertirse en detectives y pasar a la acción. Nicholas Ray, el primer policía negro del departamento de Boston, dirigirá la investigación oficial mientras los miembros del club llevan a cabo sus insólitas pesquisas. Un dantesco infierno medieval se cierne sobre las calles de la ciudad, en una época que toca a su fin, convulsa por la recién terminada guerra civil, el asesinato del presidente Lincoln y los disturbios raciales. Comparada insistentemente con El nombre de la rosa, de Umberto Eco, aclamada por la crítica con una unanimidad asombrosa y refrendada por el público con su presencia en las listas de los libros más vendidos de New York Times, Boston Globe, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, entre otros, El club Dante (http://www.seix-barral.es/club-dante) está a punto de ser publicada en veintiún países antes de ser llevada al cine. Matthew Pearl ha logrado un equilibrio perfecto entre realidad y ficción, una novela histórica de suspense que sorprende de principio a fin. [via]
