Amazon Exclusive: Inside Inferno
Explore the sights of Inferno
alongside Robert Langdon in this
exclusive first look at Dan Brown's
latest thriller.
As Langdon continued on toward the
elbow of the square, he could
see, directly ahead in the distance, the
shimmering blue glass dial of the
St. Mark’s Clock Tower—the same
astronomical clock through which
James Bond had thrown a villain in
the film Moonraker .
The Tetrarchs statue was well known
for its missing foot, broken
off while it was being plundered from
Constantinople in the thirteenth
century. Miraculously, in the 1960s,
the foot was unearthed in Istanbul.
Venice petitioned for the missing
piece of statue, but the Turkish
authorities
replied with a simple message: You
stole the statue—we’re keeping our
foot.
Amid a contour of spires and domes, a
single illuminated facade dominated
Langdon’s field of view. The building
was an imposing stone fortress
with a notched parapet and a three-
hundred-foot tower that swelled
near the top, bulging outward into a
massive machicolated battlement.
Langdon found himself standing before
a familiar face—that of Dante Alighieri.
Depicted in the legendary fresco by
Michelino, the great poet stood before
Mount Purgatory and held forth in his
hands, as if in humble offering,
his masterpiece The Divine Comedy.
