Divine Comedy. The First Step into the Dark Forest

Dante's poem adapted for the younger audience by Daniele Aristarco with illustrations by Marco Somà!

A delightful book in which the beautiful illustrations of Marco Soma complement the exciting and sincere text of Daniele Aristarco. This new look at "Divine Comedy" will arouse the curiosity and imagination of both young and old readers. Now children and their parents can take the first step together in a journey that began seven hundred years ago. A book that crosses the dark forest without stopping to glorify life.

Accompanied on the journey beyond the world by the fantastic illustrations by Marco Somà – with a Dante-dog and a Virgil-fox immersed in dizzying scenarios - the writer tells the story of Comedy, the characters, the symbols with simple but precise words. The title, the journey, the true and literary Beatrice, the shape of the three overworld realms. Not a paraphrase or a summary, rather a tasting guide able to whet the appetite of the little ones for that book that they will then face “live” in the years to come.
