Description:
In 1865 Boston, not many people spoke Italian. It was much more
popular for people to study Latin and Greek; the classic works in these
languages were common reading for students and academics. But, the small
circle of literati in Pearl's novel is bent on translating
and publishing Dante's Divine Comedy so that all Americans
may learn of the writer's genius. As this group of scholars, poets,
publishers and professors readies the manuscript, much more exciting,
murderous doings are happening outside their circle.
