Beskrivning
This new translation of Dante’s Inferno, the first volume of the Divine Comedy, matches the poet’s terza rima (interlocking rhyme structure) line-for-line and rhyme-for-rhyme.Over 700 years after its first publication, The Divine Comedy remains a cornerstone of Italian literature. This facing-page translation of Inferno consists of the 36 canti exploring Dante's dramatic journey through the circles of hell in search of redemption, accompanied by extensive notes focusing on Dante’s life and works.Given the power of Dante’s theological and dramatic vision and his central place in medieval poetry, this translation is a valuable resource for readers of medieval and Italian literature.
