More about the book
Set against the backdrop of 1960s Italy, this work serves as a powerful critique of contemporary society and the intelligentsia. Pasolini reflects on the decline of the expressive Italian language, contrasting it with a stark, technological mode of communication. In this reinterpretation of Dante's Commedia, he places two versions of himself in the roles of the pilgrim and guide, navigating an underworld that mirrors his own disillusionment and the fading civic ideals he once championed.
