Notes byArmour, Peter
SynopsisThis Everyman's Library edition-containing in one volume all three cantos, Inferno , Purgatorio , and Paradiso -includes an introduction by Nobel Prize--winning poet Eugenio Montale, a chronology, notes, and a bibliography. Also included are forty-two drawings selected from Botticelli's marvelous late-fifteenth-century series of illustrations. Translated in this edition by Allen Mandelbaum, The Divine Comedy begins in a shadowed forest on Good Friday in the year 1300. It proceeds on a journey that, in its intense recreation of the depths and the heights of human experience, has become the key with which Western civilization has sought to unlock the mystery of its own identity. Mandelbaum's astonishingly Dantean translation, which captures so much of the life of the original, renders whole for us the masterpiece of that genius whom our greatest poets have recognized as a central model for all poets., This beautiful hardcover edition--containing all three cantos, Inferno, Purgatorio , and Paradiso-- includes an introduction by Nobel Prize-winning poet Eugenio Montale, a chronology, notes, and a bibliography.

Elegant and compact...
I have just begun reading several translation of The Divine Comedy--so far, this one is my favorite. I have a hardback edition and appreciate its compactness (all three parts in one volume helpful notes on each canto provided in the back).Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
