520 "In the aftermath of a heartbreaking tragedy, a scholar
and writer uses Dante's Divine Comedy to shepherd him
through the dark wood of grief and mourning--a rich and
emotionally resonant memoir of suffering, hope, love, and
the power of literature to inspire and heal the most
devastating loss. Where do we turn when we lose
everything? Joseph Luzzi found the answer in the opening
of The Divine Comedy: "In the middle of our life's journey,
I found myself in a dark wood. "When Luzzi's pregnant wife
was in a car accident--and died forty-five minutes after
giving birth to their daughter, Isabel--he finds himself a
widower and first-time father at the same moment. While he
grieves and cares for his infant daughter, miraculously
delivered by caesarean before his wife passed, he turns to
Dante's Divine Comedy for solace. In a Dark Wood tells the
story of how Dante helps the author rebuild his life. He
follows the structure of The Divine Comedy, recounting the
Inferno of his grief, the Purgatory of healing and raising
Isabel on his own, and then Paradise of the rediscovery of
love. A Dante scholar, Luzzi has devoted his life to
teaching and writing about the poet. But until he turned
to the epic poem to learn how to resurrect his life, he
didn't realize how much the poet has given back to him. A
meditation on the influence of great art and its power to
give us strength in our darkest moments, In a Dark Wood
opens the door into the mysteries of Dante's epic poem.
Beautifully written and flawlessly balanced, Luzzi's book
is a hybrid of heart-rending memoir and critical insight
into one of the greatest pieces of literature in all of
history. In a Dark Wood draws us into man's descent into
hell and back: it is Dante's journey, Joseph Luzzi's, and
our very own"--|cProvided by publisher.
