description: Deep inside the Vatican, a priest discovers the rarest and most valuable art object ever the manuscript of The Divine Comedy, written in Dante's own hand. When a writer named Nick Tosches is called to authenticate it, the temptation proves too he steals the manuscript in a last-chance bid to have it all. As this dark and twisted journey unfolds, so does a parallel the odyssey of Dante himself, a man trying to weave a poem that contains the sum of the world's wisdom and the very breath of the divine. An astounding masterwork of audacity and beauty.
