<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This startling new translation of Dante's<i> Inferno</i> is by Ciaran Carson, one of contemporary Ireland's most dazzlingly gifted poets. Written in a vigorous and inventive contemporary idiom, while also reproducing the intricate rhyme-scheme that is so essential to the beauty and power of Dante's epic, Carson's virtuosic rendering of the Inferno is that rare thing--a translation with the heft and force of a true English poem. Like Seamus Heaney's <i>Beowulf</i> and Ted Hughes's <i>Tales from Ovid</i>, Ciaran Carson's <i>Inferno</i> is an extraordinary modern response to one of the great works of world literature.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A Dante not for the shelf but for the eye and voice--addictively readable, virtually demanding to be recited aloud."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ciaran Carson</b> was born in 1948 in Belfast. He has been awarded the Forward Poetry Prize, The Irish Times Literature Prize, the T. S. Eliot Prize, and the Yorkshire Post Prize. <i>Shamrock Tea</i> was longlisted for the Booker Prize and <i>The Inferno</i> won the Weidenfeld Translation Prize in 2003. Carson's prose books- <i>Last Night's Fun</i>, <i>The Star Factory</i>, and <i>Fishing for Amber</i> - form a body of work unique in Irish literature.
