Synopsis

Both the critically acclaimed, multiple award-winning Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe and its highly anticipated sequel Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World in one collectible hardcover boxed set.

When Aristotle and Dante met that one summer at their local swimming pool, they had no way of knowing they would change each other’s lives forever. Together, they discover that they share a special bond—the kind that changes lives and lasts a lifetime—and tackle the most important truths about themselves and the kind of people they want to be.

After opening themselves up to love, they must learn what it means to stay in love—and to build their relationship against the backdrop of the AIDS epidemic in 1980s America, in a world that doesn’t seem to want them to exist. To Ari, tragedy feels like his destiny, but can he forge his own path and create a life where he can not only survive, but thrive?

This achingly honest boxed set includes:
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World
