Summary/Abstract: The presence of Dante in literature and in other cultural fields still holds a privileged position nowadays, when rereadings and reuses acquire surprising, innovative and stimulating forms. Within this context, we propose a Dantean reading of Mircea Cãrtãrescu’s super-novel, Solenoid, which is a representative and appropriate example to showcase a dense inter-textual dialogue between the two authors irrespective of the 700 years separating them.
