Dante Inferno
Modern Library October 25, 200 0-345-48357-X / 9780345483577 Paperback Near Fine
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: "Dante's conversations with his mentor Virgil and the doomed shades are by turns assertive and abashed, irritated and pitying and inquisitive, and Ant hony Esolen's new translation renders them so sensitively that they seem to take place in the same room with us. It follows Dante through all his spec tacular range, commanding where he is commanding, wrestling, as he does, wi th the density and darkness in language and in the soul. This Inferno gives us Dante's vivid drama and his verbal inventiveness. It is living writing. " -James Richardson, Princeton University "Professor Esolen's translation of Dante's Inferno is the best one I have s een, for two reasons. His decision to use unrhymed blank verse allows him t o come nearly as close to the meaning of the original as any prose reading could do, and allows him also to avoid the harrowing sacrifices that the de mand for rhyme imposes on any translator. And his endnotes and other additi ons provoke answers to almost any question that could arise about the work. " -A. Kent Hieatt, professor emeritus, University of Western Ontario "Esolen's brilliant translation captures the power and the spirit of a poem that does not easily give up its secrets. The notes and appendices provide exactly the kind of help that most readers will need." -Robert Royal, president, Faith and Reason Institute

Dante The Inferno of Dante: Bilingual Edition
Farrar, Straus and Giroux March 30, 1996 0-374-52452-1 / 9780374524524 Paperback Good
Though transforming Dante's terza rima into readable English has bogged dow n many a distinguished translator, Pinsky (The Want Bone) more than meets t he challenge. His rendering has an efficient feel; the lines seem slimmer a nd less unwieldy than most contemporary verse translations. Each one of the cantos features a good number of stanzas dominated by monosyllables-his an swer, along with intriguing patterns of assonance, to approximating the spl endor of Dante's profusion of rhymes, which are impossible to replicate in English. The coherent narration of the translation is also welcome, as it k eeps a harness on the sometimes meandering diction of the original. Pinsky' s voice is nearly irresistible when rounding out the grotesqueries of Dante 's Hell: his versions of the ninth and final circle bring the bizarre terro r of the fiery pit to life. Plainspoken yet elegant, this Inferno sustains a tactile succession of images over 34 cantos, and lends itself to being re ad aloud.
