Produktbeschreibung

In The Divine Mimesis, Pasolini reimagines Dante’s descent into Hell not as allegory but as lived, historical reality—urban, political, and deeply personal. Written in the final years of his life, this unfinished and fiercely experimental work leads us through the wreckage of modern Italy: housing projects, consumer culture, political betrayal, the spiritual void left in the wake of fascism and capitalism alike. The poet is no longer a pilgrim, but a witness—disillusioned, irreverent, obsessed with truth.And truth, here, is brutal. Pasolini tears into language, myth, and self with equal violence, creating a text that is part confession, part vision, part cultural autopsy.

What begins as a mimicry of Dante becomes something darker and stranger—a descent not into a metaphysical Hell, but the concrete one of the present.The Divine Mimesis is not just a reckoning with a broken world, but with the broken idea of progress itself. Fragmented, volatile, and saturated with grief, this is Pasolini at his most unguarded and incendiary.A necessary document from one of the twentieth century’s most fearless and singular minds.
