Title: Inferno of Dante Alighieri
Author: Dante Alighieri
ISBN: 9781590171141
Publisher: NYRB Classics
Published: 2004
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Condition: Used: Near Fine
A 1630896
Publisher Description:
This startling new translation of Dante's Inferno is by Ciaran Carson, one of contemporary Ireland's most dazzlingly gifted poets. Written in a vigorous and inventive contemporary idiom, while also reproducing the intricate rhyme-scheme that is so essential to the beauty and power of Dante's epic, Carson's virtuosic rendering of the Inferno is that rare thing--a translation with the heft and force of a true English poem. Like Seamus Heaney's Beowulf and Ted Hughes's Tales from Ovid, Ciaran Carson's Inferno is an extraordinary modern response to one of the great works of world literature.
