Synopsis:
This is a new verse translation of the first canticle of Dante's moving human drama, a poetic masterpiece of penance and hope. Awakening in a dark wood, the poet Dante is forced to confront the ?darkness” of his own life, and so he embarks upon a three-day journey towards redemption. His first day is spent traveling through Hell?the Inferno?with the poet Virgil as his guide. As they traverse the nine circles of Hell, they meet a fiendish array of notorious characters, each suffering varying degrees of damnation for their earthly sins. Through this visionary spiritual journey, Dante comes to value the true nature of good and evil. Florentine poet Dante Alighieri is the author of The Divine Comedy, one of the greatest literary works of all time.
Review: 'It is extremely difficult to read any classic work afresh, in a defamiliarized way, but perhaps that is one of the advantages of a new translation, that it gives a fresh voice to a familiar text, like the restoration of the colours in an old master painting. It is important for the English reader trying to achieve that sense of freshness to remember that Dante's Comedy emerges from the mists of the middle ages almost without precedent... This new translation by J. G. Nicholls has preserved the crucial Dantesque virtues of concreteness, economy and energy.' - from the Introduction by Martin McLaughlin 'Dante's epic of sin and salvation endures powerfully' - from the Foreword by Ian Thomson
