Description

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here!” On a divine journey through the depths of Hell, Dante–with his guide, the poet Virgil–witnesses the fate of Earth’s sinners. Inferno, a 14th century poem and the first part of Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, paints an allegorical underworld in which sinners are punished in accordance with their sins.  Journey through the darkness and meet famous historical and mythical figures and the fate that has become them, from Homer and Julius Caesar who dwell in Limbo with the unbaptized and the virtuous pagans, to Judas Iscariot and Satan himself, who dwell in the deepest circle of hell for the sin of treachery.  Influential, even after seven centuries in print, readers of Inferno will appreciate the plethora of allusions both within and concerning this work, as well as the moral implications the story develops.  Now available as part of the Word Cloud Classics series, Inferno is a must-have addition to the libraries of all classic literature lovers.

Description

“Palma’s wonderfully readable translation comes close to perfection. I’m tempted to call it a miracle.”—X. J. Kennedy Unlike every known translator before him, Michael Palma re-creates Dante’s masterpiece in all its dimensions, without emphasizing some aspects over others, rendering Inferno into contemporary American English while maintaining Dante’s original triple rhyme scheme. The result is a translation that can be appreciated for its literal faithfulness and beautiful poetic form, accompanied by facing-page Italian and explanatory notes. “A superb translation; highly recommended.”—Library Journal “I find Michael Palma’s Inferno to be one that I’m having a hard time improving.”—Lawrence Ferlinghetti “I think highly of Michael Palma’s Inferno….Readers will find it admirably clear and readable.”—Richard Wilbur
