Ataviado con sombrero de fieltro y una pipa entre los dientes, el Dante de Seymour Chwast no puede ser más actual. Si La divina comedia se ha convertido en un clásico, quizá se deba a cuán poco se parece a la obra de los contemporaneos del autor, que no solo invento un mundo como lo han hecho muy pocos, sino que es el gran pionero de la autoficcion. Podria deberse tambien al atrevimiento de Dante de escribir como hablaba realmente la gente de su tiempo y su lugar, la Toscana, y no en latin, segun se habia esperado de un literato.Chwast, un heroe de la ilustracion y el diseño, ya casi centenario, condensa de una manera tan audaz como efectiva toda la complejidad de un clasico que no siempre se animan los lectores a abordar. Y en la estela de Dante, convierte la poesia del original en una obra alejada de la convencion del arte secuencial en favor de paginas sorprendentes. Por su forma singular de reimaginar el clasico medieval, Chwast es fiel y digno heredero de un autor al que se considera el padre de la lengua italiana.Como en el poema original, el Dante de Chwast recorre junto a su maestro Virgilio los circulos del Infierno. Juntos atraviesan el Purgatorio y llegan hasta el Paraiso, donde encuentran a Beatriz, la difunta amada de Dante, porque la Comedia acaba bien y recuerda, a quien quiera saberlo, que existe una luz divina. Pero no hacemos spoilers, lo que importa es como transcurre el viaje y como se cuenta. La serie de personajes que van encontrando a lo largo del viaje.
