But Matthew Pearl pulls it off. A fan of the Italian writer—and himself winner of the Dante Award from the Dante Club of America—he turned his intense academic interest into a thriller that topped the New York Times list in its first week of release. A critical and commercial success, it has already been translated into more than thirty languages. The Dante Club blends real events—there really was a Dante Club frequented by lovers of Italian literature, including Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, and Oliver Wendell Holmes—with a noir plot replete with twists and cultural references. In this ambitious debut novel, Matthew Pearl combines historical and literary icons with complex psychological themes, amidst a masterful period reconstruction. In post-Civil War Boston, a group of intellectuals dedicate themselves to translating into English one of humanity's most important works: The Divine Comedy. To this end, writers Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, and Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, along with editor J.T. Fields, form the Dante Club. They expected conservatives to resist the publication of such a work, but they didn't count on a serial killer capable of anything to recreate the book's worst scenes. They must discover who he is and who his next victim is. The conflicts behind this endeavor are the driving force behind the plot, born from a bet. Matthew's law professor at Yale warned him that after graduation, he would be unable to write fiction. The result is a novel with a gripping plot. In The Dante Club, Matthew Pearl manages to transform the results of historical research into a brilliantly constructed thriller.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176295350524,"sku":"9788501089854","price":84.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"o-ultimo-dickens","title":"The Last Dickens","description":"A novel about Dickens's last, unfinished novel. A historical thriller filled with real characters, reflecting Matthew Pearl's meticulous research into the Victorian era. From the Opium Wars to the flourishing of the publishing industry and the press, the author recreates a time of transformation, including personal relationships. A brilliant thriller that also involves mysterious aspects of the lives of well-known icons of modern literature. After portraying the difficulties of translating The Divine Comedy into English in his literary debut, Matthew now focuses on The Mystery of Edwin Drood, the famous novel Dickens was working on at the time of his death. Dickens's last novel deals precisely with the reader's orphanhood. What do you do when you lose the narrator, the voice that tells you what happens next? This is the true fear that haunts this new plot by the author of The Dante Club. The year is 1870. Dickens dies suddenly. How will readers survive without knowing the ending of his final novel? Furthermore, how will his American publishers survive without the profits from his writings? James R. Osgood awaits the imminent arrival of the final installments of Dickens's final work. Suspecting ambitious and dishonest New York publishers, Osgood sends his trusted young secretary, Daniel Sand, to retrieve the package. When Daniel's body is found at the docks—the true cause of his death unknown, and the manuscript missing—Osgood must embark on a transatlantic search to uncover the remainder of Dickens's mystery and solve a personal one. Osgood is aided by Rebecca Sands, the publisher's bookkeeper, who wants to help clear her brother Daniel's name. Soon, they find themselves embroiled in a sinister game in which the plot of the fascinating finale of Dickens's mystery intersects with real life.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176804729084,"sku":"9788501089847","price":79.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/1e5222ef14cf3a4c2e4dcc9ea8231c4d_9a23b0be-1697-4a96-ae81-2aa0ac68d267.jpg?v=1778325963"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/matthew-pearl.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
