René Guénon explore, derrière l’œuvre de Dante, une signification initiatique que la lecture profane ignore. Refusant toute grille « systématique », il montre que le symbolisme ne se laisse pas réduire: chaque signe ouvre sur des perspectives illimitées, et l’essentiel demeure de l’ordre de l’inexprimable. Plutôt qu’un traité clos, ce livre est un point de départ: il suggère des voies de recherche, appelle une compréhension vraie et invite à mesurer l’étroitesse de nos conceptions courantes.

Tre storie. Tre peregrinazioni. Tre immersioni in un passato illustre, reinventato, emozionato, elettrizzato dalla fantasia letteraria di uno scrittore in stato di grazia.
