Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri - Volume 2: Purgatorio

Zusatztext ... this book makes the case that we should approach the poem in the spirit of the Italian word "peregrini", as travellers in meaningful search. We are richer for it. Informationen zum Autor Robert M. Durling is Professor Emeritus of English and Italian Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Ronald L. Martinez is Professor of Italian at Brown University. Their works together include Dante's Inferno and Purgatorio and Time and the Crystal: Studies in Dante's "Rime petrose." Robert Turner has been a professional illustrator for thirty years. Klappentext The second volume of Oxford's new "Divine Comedy" presents the Italian text of the "Purgatorio" and, on facing pages, a new prose translation. Continuing the story of the poet's journey through the medieval Other World, the "Purgatorio" culminates in the regaining of the Garden of Eden and the reunion there with the poet's long-lost love Beatrice. Zusammenfassung 'Purgatorio' is the second of three volumes of a new edition and translation of Dante's masterpiece, 'The Divine Comedy'. Similar to volume I, 'The Inferno', this translation in English prose emphasizes the literal-vs-phonetic. A newly edited version of the Italian text is on facing pages and includes comprehensive notes.
