Krátky popis
Acclaimed French animators Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi adapt Dante’s
literary classic Inferno in the sweeping, dramatic style that
brought The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Fantasia 2000 to life
Literary aficionados will appreciate this decadent graphic novel
adaptation, which does not seek to sand down the source material.
Likewise, adults whose imaginations were fueled by films like
Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame as children, which the Brizzi
brothers animated sequences for, will be swept up in this lushly
illustrated adult fable, unfettered by the demands of corporate
animation studios. Guided by the poet Virgil, Dante crosses the
nine circles of Hell to find his beloved, Beatrice, in
Paradise.Along the way, he must recognize and reject each of the
incarnations of sin. In each circle of Hell, Dante confronts both
sinners and demons, from Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Achilles, and
Paris, whose loves were famously their downfall, to the Greek
Furies and Medusa, to heretics like Epicurus, whose teachings
claimed that the soul died with the body, now forced to writhe in a
flaming tomb for eternity. Each layer of Hell reveals monsters,
gods, historical and mythological kings, philosophers, queens, and
hordes of the miserable, faceless damned, all culminating in a
confrontation with Lucifer himself.Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi make this
famously dense literary classic accessible without distorting it
and betraying the spirit of the Italian genius. They deftly
translate it into comics while taking care to preserve the heart of
the story: a taste for excess, dramatic tension, and the inevitable
darkness of the subject matter.
