  • Dante Club Polish
Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: Polish translation of "The Dante Club". In 1865 Boston, not many people spoke Italian. But the small circle of literati in Pearl's inventive novel is bent on translating and publishing Dante's Divine Comedy. As this group of scholars, poets, publishers and professors readies the manuscript, much more exciting doings are happening outside their circle. The Boston police are hot on the trail of a series of murders taking place around town. In one, a priest is buried alive, his feet set on fire; in another, a man's body is eaten by maggots. It doesn't take a rocket scientist-only a Dante expert-to realize these murders are based on Dante's Inferno and its account of Hell's punishments. Scholars become snoopers, and the Dante Club is soon on the scene, investigating the crimes and trying to find the killer.
