    Inferno

    "Behold the monster with the pointed tail,
    Who cleaves the hills, and breaketh walls and weapons,
    Behold him who infecteth all the world."

    Thus unto me my Guide began to say, And beckoned him that he should come to shore, Near to the confine of the trodden marble;
    And that uncleanly image of deceit
    Came up and thrust ashore its head and bust, But on the border did not drag its tail.
    The face was as the face of a just man, Its semblance outwardly was so benign, And of a serpent all the trunk beside.
    Two paws it had, hairy unto the armpits;
    The back, and breast, and both the sides it had Depicted o'er with nooses and with shields.

    Dante Alighieri

    Dante Alighieri (c. 1265 – 14 September 1321), probably baptized Durante di Alighiero degli Alighieri and often referred to as Dante, was an Italian poet, writer and philosopher.

    Frequent questions

    • Inside each cover there is a unique and different book, so yes for those who choose it the book is totally random but the chance is dictated by a sort of connection with the cover, in this case with the Decameron. We booksellers will put inside that specific cover (in his case the Decameron) a book that makes sense. And above all a beautiful book!!

    • It would be an extraordinary twist of fate and what's more it would never be the same copy because each serenpidity is unique and original in its own way. Even with kinder sheep you can risk having the same surprise.

    • the serenpidities that you buy and find on the site are all second hand, very often first editions or very rare editions. However, there is also the possibility of "serenpiditizing" a new book of your choice (for example your favorite book or a book to give as a gift). In this case, in addition to the cover price, there will be a cost of 5 euros for the serenpiditization

    • The reference paradigms are to be understood as the categories, genres or sections within which those specific books are to be included. As if they were labels placed on the shelves Of a library, only instead of genres usual (thrillers, novelties, literature, poetry, etc.) there are these paradigms. In this specific case the paradigm of the multifaceted genius may contain books by extraordinary men, excellent biographies, but also scientific essays or philosophical texts.
