<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Palma recreates Dante's masterpiece in all its dimensions, without emphasizing some aspects over others, rendering "Inferno" into contemporary American English while maintaining Dante's original triple rhyme scheme.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Unlike every known translator before him, Michael Palma re-creates Dante's masterpiece in all its dimensions, without emphasizing some aspects over others, rendering <em>Inferno</em> into contemporary American English while maintaining Dante's original triple rhyme scheme. The result is a translation that can be appreciated for its literal faithfulness and beautiful poetic form, accompanied by facing-page Italian and explanatory notes. A superb translation; highly recommended.--<em>Library Journal</em> I find Michael Palma's <em>Inferno</em> to be one that I'm having a hard time improving.--Lawrence Ferlinghetti I think highly of Michael Palma's <em>Inferno</em>....Readers will find it admirably clear and readable.--Richard Wilbur<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A superb translation; highly recommended."<br><br>"After a lifetime of reading translations which I always though I could improve, I find Michael Palma's Inferno to be one that I'm having a hard time improving."<br><br>"I think highly of Michael Palma's Inferno. It is accurate as to sense, fully rhymed, and easy, as a rule, in its movement through the tercets. Readers will find it admirably clear and readable."<br><br>"Of many noble tries to render Dante's master-piece into English, Michael Palma's may be the noblest of them all. In capturing the sense, sound, and spirit of the original, his wonderfully readable translatioin comes close to perfection. I'm tempted to call it a miracle."<br>
