Inferno, Vol. 0001 Dante Alighieri, Robert Turner, Ronald L. Martinez Published by Literature - Poetry

Author: Dante Alighieri, Robert Turner, Ronald L. Martinez

Publisher: Literature - Poetry

Description:
The first volume of this new Divine Comedy presents the Italian text of the Inferno, and, on facing pages, Robert Durling's new prose translation, which brings a new power and accuracy to the rendering of Dante's extraordinary vision of Hell, with all its terror, pathos, and sardonic humor. Readers will prize the directness and clarity, the rich expressiveness, and the rigorous accuracy of this contemporary prose translation, which preserves to an unparalleled degree the order and emphases of Dante's syntax, unhampered by any constraints of meter or rhyme. The Italian text has been newly edited with a view to the needs of American and English readers. Martinez and Durling's Introduction and Notes are designed with the first-time reader in mind, but will be useful to others as well. The concise Introduction presents essential biographical and historical background and a discussion of the form of the poem. The Notes are more extensive than those in most translations and contain much new material. In addition, sixteen short essays explore the autobiographical dimension of the poem, the problematic body analogy, the question of Christ's presence in Hell, and individual cantos tha thave been the subject of controversy, including those on homosexuality. With its exceptionally high standard of typography and design, along with Robert Turner's illustrations, inlcuding detailed maps of Italy, clearly labeled diagrams of the cosmos and structure of Hell, and line drawings of objects and places mentioned in the poem, this outstanding volume will set the standard for years to come.
