Discover this fresh, pacy, modern translation of an enduring
literary classic. Halfway through life, you find yourself lost,
unsure of the right path. Greed, deception and pride have led you
away from the ideals and dreams you cherished in younger days. How
do you go on? This is the starting point of one of the most
extraordinary and important journeys in western literature, a
stunningly ambitious flight of imagination and philosophy which has
reverberated down the years since Dante Alighieri first wrote it
down in the fourteenth century. The Divine Comedy is a vision of
the afterlife, the three regions of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise,
through which the narrator must journey in order to better
understand the workings of the universe, the love of God, and his
place in the world. Poet and translator Steve Ellis translated the
Inferno in 1994, and it was greeted with great acclaim. Now Ellis's
translation of the entire poem is published here for the first
time, and Dante's epic can be experienced afresh and in new
glorious life and colour, the physicality and immediacy of Dante's
verse rendered in English as never before. A NEW TRANSLATION BY
STEVE ELLIS
