Author and filmmaker Robert Orlando visits Princeton on Saturday, December 13, for a discussion of his new book, “Karl Marx: The Divine Tragedy,” a work that reframes Marx’s life through the structure of Dante’s Divine Comedy.
The event takes place from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Erdman Center at Princeton Theological Seminary, 20 Library Place. It is free and open to the public, though seating is limited.
Orlando will deliver a presentation from the book, screen a segment of the companion film, and lead a conversation on Marx’s influence on modern culture, politics and faith.
Orlando is known for documentaries that have been featured at the White House, the Vatican and international venues. Organizers say his decades of research and storytelling experience inform the project’s exploration of Marx’s legacy.
Signed advance copies of the book will be available. Attendees are encouraged to call Roslyn Verone at 917-301-3439 or email her at Rdjmverone@yahoo.com to reserve a seat.
