Inferno: ItalianEnglish Parallel Text,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A unique parallel edition of Dantes Inferno with Dantes Italian and Longfellows celebrated poetic translation on facing pages."Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them. There is no third." T. S. Eliot"Dantes poem is, for many, the greatest single work of Western literature." Ian Thompson."I love my Dante as much as the Bible. He is my spiritual food, the rest is ballast." James Joyce.In the middle of our lifes journey, I found myself in a dark wood/Bewildered, and I knew I had lost the way: so opens Dantes Divine Comedy, "the best book literature has achieved" as Jorge Luis Borges writes.Dantes Inferno, one of the greatest works of European literature, and "the most original and audacious treatment of the afterlife in Western literature" dazzles with its vivid and inventive storytelling and imagery. However, it contains much more than poetry and theology; it displays Dantes wide and comprehensive learning, and his deep understanding of contemporary politics and society. "All life is contained in the poem, for Dantes was an allencompassing imagination, that interwove classical philosophy with Catholic doctrine and contemporary politics," (Ian Thompson).The thirtythree cantos of Inferno follow Dante, as, guided by the epic poet, Virgil, he travels through the nine descending circles of a freezing Hell, until he meets Satan trapped at the bottom. The Inferno is the most gripping and engaging book of The Divine Comedy, as Dante meets those damned for forbidden love, and all manner of human vices. (The damned, amusingly, include many of Dantes enemies!) Inferno is the logical conclusion of all that is worst in human life. It is bearable only because Dante eventually emerges.The Divine Comedy was written over a period of twenty years towards the end of Dantes life. It was appreciated as a masterpiece soon after its completion, and it has captivated both readers and the Western imagination ever since.Dantes Inferno is the most widely translated book after the Bible. This edition is translated by the celebrated poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. This duallanguage ItalianEnglish edition will be enjoyable for those whod like to read Dantes Inferno in either English or Italian, while dipping into the other language to deepen pleasure or comprehension. Ideal for lovers of Dante.Dante Alighieri, (12651321) was an Italian poet, prose writer, literary critic, philosopher, and political thinker and adviser. He is regarded as the greatest Italian writer. As one of the earliest forerunners of the Renaissance, predating Chaucer, he set the stage for the explosion of creativity that was to follow. Dante is best known for The Divine Comedy, which remains the greatest work of Italian literature.
