6 reviews
Dante Alighieri

Chartwell Books, 2006

A classic only for $17.98
NOTE: Barnes and Noble sells it for only $17.98 in store or online. Great translation.The classic black and white illustrations by THE master Gustave Dore. A must for your classics library. I bought it at B&N, very happy with the quality of paper and the lay-out. This title is quite large in size, almost coffee table book style. Not for dragging around the beach. Highly recommended!

The Divine Comedy (The Inferno, The Purgatorio, and The Paradiso)

Three and a Half Years Later...
...I finally finished this wonderful book (today)! To tell the truth, it was the kind of book I put away for a few weeks or months and then picked it up again, reading a few cantos at a time. As assumed by most, I believe the Inferno may be the best of the three Canticles if only for the descriptive passages, and my memories of first hearing about it in the tenth grade. In fact, that first ...

The Divine Comedy: Inferno; Purgatorio; Paradiso (Everyman's Library)

Dante Alighieri

Everyman's Library, 1995

Excellent Translation
The introduction by a modern poet rambles on and is not worth reading, however the stories by Dante are excellent and have been translated without losing any of the original meaning. Notes in the back make it easy to follow this 400 year old story.

Excitement, Adventure - a review of "Avatar - Volume 1"
If you are not familiar with the world of the Avatar there are four different realms of 'bending' or mastery of the elements: air, fire, water, and earth. Aang, the principle character, is the last Airbender and the one who is destined to be the Avatar, or person who is to master all four bending traditions in order to save the world from the dominance plans of the Fire Nation. As for the ...

The Inferno of Dante: A New Verse Translation, Bilingual Edition

Dante

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1997

Medieval vision of the afterlife
This was required reading for a graduate course in medieval history. Dante Alighieri's (1265-1321) "Devine Comedy" weaved together aspects of biblical and classical Greek literary traditions to produce one of the most important works of not only medieval literature, but also one of the great literary works of Western civilization. The full impact of this 14,000-line poem divided into 100 ...

Four Magic Moves to Winning Golf

Joe Dante

Main Street Books, 1995

Great!
This book is all you need. Don't believe the other reviews that talk about this swing needing timing, or hurting your back. It requires less timing than the traditional swing and, because the clubface is square throughout the swing, even mis-hits go straight. The biggest difference is the early wrist break under, not around, which feels weird at first. It does get you to the top nice and ...

The Inferno

21 reviews
Dante

Anchor, 2002

I have four copies of The Inferno. This is my favorite.
It is what it is- another translation of Dante's Inferno. In my initial reading of the Inferno, I found that you need a large knowledge of the papacy around 1300 and more historic and mythological characters. I later found this translation, which I thought had an excellent section of end notes. It made it easy to read not just for the poetic properties or the vivid imagery of a fictional Hell, ...

Inferno (Modern Library Classics)

Dante

Modern Library, 2003

A powerful translation of a masterpiece
There have been several excellent translations of Dante in the past few years, all worth reading in their own right. But I retain a special affection for John Ciardi's version, as it's the first one I ever read, at the unprepared & overwhelmed age of 15. I knew of its reputation as a major classic & I was ignorant enough to be unfazed by the prospect of reading it. Well, to say that I was soon ...

Dante Alighieri

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Brilliant
Dante will remain my favorite author, ever, final, no questions asked, and though I love the Divine Comedy, it was refreshing to read something that told more of his own story: the agony over Beatrice and the trials of his own life. This is a must read for any Dante fan...understand the man behind the art...understand one of the most beautiful poets the world will ever know.

Dante Alighieri

Penguin Classics, 1986

Wonderful, Informative, Scary Story
My interest in classic literature did not arise until recently. I read many reviews which indicated that people with this such interest absolutely MUST read Dante's Inferno. With that hefty weight upon my "newbie" shoulders I decided to undergo the journey that so many others have made over the last 700 years. As it turns out, Mark Musa's translation of Inferno is fantastic. Each chapter begins ...

Paradiso
Dante

Anchor, 2008

With his journeys through Hell and Purgatory complete, Dante is at last led by his beloved Beatrice to Paradise. Where his experiences in the Inferno and Purgatorio were arduous and harrowing, this is a journey of comfort, revelation, and, above all, love-both romantic and divine. Robert Hollander is a Dante scholar of unmatched reputation and his wife, Jean, is an accomplished poet. Their verse translation with facing-page Italian ...

The Divine Comedy, Part 2: Purgatory (Penguin Classics)

Dante Alighieri

Penguin Classics, 1955

Pleasant Guide
A warning: this is by now an rather old translation, and theres always more to explore in Dante. That being said, it has many insights newer translations lack, and its a brilliant example of a period - if you want to understand how the understanding of Dante has developed, this is a must. Oh, and by the way, if one can read of the Earthly Paradise and not be moved, one is cheating oneself (as I ...

Dante Alighieri

Penguin Classics, 1950

Golden Oldies
First of all, a warning: the "Comedy" is a complex work, and we are constantly updating our understanding of it. However, once one has finished whatever annotated and/or translated version is currently at the apex of knowledge, it is well worth going back to Sayers. I would dare to say that this is one of the classic translations, one of the best from that phase of Dante studies (for example, ...
