Gerrit, a proud handsome Dutch fifty-five-year-old, who has made something of himself, meets the twenty-five-year-old Italian doctor Beato, who manages to cause his whole carefully constructed façade to come tumbling down. Inferno tells the story of how inner balance can destruct evil.'Good cannot combat evil with evilbecause it only has goodness towork with...Evil can only be evil as long as it does not experience any goodness within itself. Should goodness happen to enter in somehow, then darkness will begin to love the lightand thereby learn to recognize itself.' «
