From a secret war in Vatican City and a murder in the Louvre pointing to a hidden religious history, to a deadly riddle connected to Dante’s Divine Comedy and a threat to humanity’s future, Langdon is thrown into conspiracies that span art, science, religion and global politics. Racing against time through Rome, Paris, London, Florence and Istanbul, he must decode symbols and puzzles buried in masterpieces and monuments before catastrophe strikes.

Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of symbology, arrives at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao for a groundbreaking announcement by billionaire futurist Edmond Kirsch, a former student. Kirsch is set to unveil a discovery that promises to answer two fundamental questions of human existence.

In the midst of this turmoil, Langdon must escape Bilbao with Ambra Vidal, the museum director who collaborated with Kirsch. Their flight to Barcelona leads them on a perilous quest to find a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret. As they navigate hidden histories and extreme religious ideologies, they face a relentless enemy whose influence seems to stem from Spain’s Royal Palace.

This thrilling narrative showcases the blend of suspense and intellectual exploration that defines the author’s work.

dalla copertina è il motore di un thriller che di "infernale" ha molto. Non sorprende che il grande studioso di simbologia Robert Langdon sia un esperto del sommo poeta. Ed è normale che a Firenze sia di casa. Ma questa volta è tutto diverso, ora è un incubo e solo la sua profonda conoscenza della città può aiutarlo a salvarsi la vita. Il professore di Harvard, infatti, si sveglia in una stanza d'ospedale, ferito alla testa. Ricorda a malapena come si chiama e non sa come è arrivato a Firenze. Sa che qualcuno ha cercato di ucciderlo, ma perché? Barcollante, la mente invasa da apparizioni mostruose e simboli connessi alla prima cantica della Commedia, Langdon si accorge di essere nel mirino di un'ambigua organizzazione, e sa che deve scappare. Da tutti. Ha una sola traccia per risolvere l'enigma che lo riguarda e salvarsi la vita: le terzine di Dante. Inferno è il libro più inquietante di Dan Brown, un thriller davvero infernale capace di instillare nel lettore tutto il sottile, perverso fascino del male.
