The Inferno of Dante : Bilingual Edition
The Inferno of Dante Bilingual Edition
Author: Dante Alighieri, Robert Pinsky (Translator)
This widely praised version of Dante's masterpiece, which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award of the Academy of American Poets, is more idiomatic and approachable than its many predecessors. Former U.S. Poet Laureate Pinsky employs slant rhyme and near rhyme to preserve Dante's terza rim...  more » form without distorting the flow of English idiom. The result is a clear and vigorous translation that is also unique, student-friendly, and faithful to the original.

Notes by Nicole Pinsky; foreword by John Freccero.
