Articoli correlati a Inferno
Of the three sections of Dante ’s Divine Comedy, the first section, Inferno, has always been the most popular. The medieval equivalent of a thriller, Inferno features Dante and his faithful guide Virgil as they traverse the complex geography of Hell and confront many hair-raising threats before reaching the deep chamber where Satan resides. Now, in this dazzling translation, described as “a remarkable achievment” by Stephen Greenblatt, Clive James communicates not just the transcendent poetry of Dante’s language but also the excitement and terror of his journey through the underworld. Instead of Dante’s original terza rima, a form that, in English, tends to show the strain of composition, James employs fluently linked quatrains, thereby conveying the seamless flow of Dante ’s poetry and the headlong momentum of the action. As James writes in his introduction, Dante’s great poem “can still astonish us, whether we believe in the supernatural or not. At the very least it will make us believe in poetry.”

As James writes in his introduction, Dantes great poem "can still astonish us, whether we believe in the supernatural or not. At the very least it will make us believe in poetry."Review"The freedoms James takes allow him to get off some beautiful phrasesJames is a poet, doing a poet's work[He] is also a premier practitioner of the high-low style that became so popular in the nineteen-twenties, notably via Eliot and Pound, which is to say, in part, via Dante."- Joan Acocella, The New Yorker"Seeking to preserve Dante's 'infinitely variable rhythmic pulse,' James makes an inspired metrical choiceThe greatest virtue of James's translation is his gift for infusing poetry in the least likely placesJames's austere volume achieves something remarkable: It lets Dante's poetry shine in all its brilliance."- Joseph Luzzi, New York Times Book Review"An extraordinary verse-rendering-the fruit of many years' work-of Dante's The Divine Comedy[James] has not only tackled this Everest of translation, but has scrambled to the summit in triumph."- Robert McCrum, GuardianAbout the AuthorDante Alighieri was born in 1265 in Florence to a family of minor nobility. He entered into Florentine politics in 1295, but he and his party were forced into exile in a hostile political climate in 1301. Taking asylum in Ravenna late in life, Dante completed his Divine Commedia, considered one of the most important works of Western literature, before his death in 1321.Clive James (1939-2019), author of the best-selling Cultural Amnesia and Poetry Notebook, was an Officer of the Order of Australia and a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. His writing appeared in the New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic. Codice articolo DADAX1631491075
