The Divine Comedy: Volume 1: Inferno Paperback - 2002
by Dante Alighieri; Mark Musa (Translator); Introduction by Mark Musa
This vigorous translation of the poet's journey through the circles of hell recreates for the modern reader the rich meanings that Dante's poem had for his contemporaries.
Summary
This vigorous translation of Inferno preserves Dante's simple, natural style, and captures the swift movement of the original Italian verse. Mark Musa's blank verse rendition of the poet's journey through the circles of Hell re-creates for the modern reader the rich meanings that Dante's poem had for his contemporaries. Musa's introduction and commentaries on each of the cantos brilliantly illuminate the text.
