In the 150 pages of this 8" x 10 1/2" hardcover volume, the Brizzi brothers, Paul and Gaëtan attempt an unlikely feat: to adapt Dante's Inferno to a graphic novel of modest length.

Rendered entirely in graphite pencils, this work works to capture both the spirit of the Inferno and of the time and place – early 14th century Italy – in which it was originally created.
