Reviews
"Splendid, passionate...A strange, wild hybrid of a novel...with a moral fervor far exceeding most novels of better grooming."-- Will Blythe , New York Times Book Review, "A novel that happily breaks every rule it can...The sheer audaciousness of Tosches's writing makes most other fiction seem phony by comparison."-- David Wiegand , San Francisco Chronicle

Synopsis
The life-or-death thriller about a long-lost manuscript of The Divine Comedy was a New York Times Notable Book and called a "blindingly brilliant" by Entertainment Weekly . In this exuberantly acclaimed bestseller, Nick Tosches tells the tale of two odysseys: the efforts of Dante Alighieri to weave out of the grossness of his own humanity a poem that contains the sum of the world's wisdom and the very breath of the divine, and the deadly struggle, seven centuries later, to possess an object of inestimable value -- the manuscript of The Divine Comedy written in Dante's own hand. Widely hailed as a work of astounding audacity and beauty, the novel draws on Nick Tosches's vast scholarship about the Middle Ages and an intimate knowledge of the most degenerate lowlifes of New York's toughest streets. It is the masterwork of a writer long recognized as one of America's most gifted prose stylists and now increasingly celebrated as one of our finest writers. "Tosches writes like a dark angel." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Deep inside the Vatican library, a priest discovers the rarest and most valuable art object ever found: the manuscript of The Divine Comedy , written in Dante's own hand. Via Sicily, the manuscript makes its way from the priest to a mob boss in New York City, where a writer named Nick Tosches is called to authenticate the prize. For this writer, the temptation is too great: he steals the manuscript in a last-chance bid to have it all. Some will find it offensive; others will declare it transcendent; it is certain to be the most ragingly debated novel of the decade.

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
