In The Hand Of Dante by Nick Tosches
A split narrative intertwines the journey of a disillusioned contemporary writer hired to authenticate a newly unearthed manuscript of the Divine Comedy with a vivid reimagining of the medieval poet crafting his work amid exile and intrigue. As greed, crime, and desire swirl around the modern quest, questions of authenticity, faith, and the price of beauty collide with brutal reality. The result is a feverish meditation on art, corruption, mortality, and the sacred and profane forces that drive creation.
