Evergreens: Purgatory (Dual Language and New Verse Translation Edition)

Giới thiệu Evergreens: Purgatory (Dual Language and New Verse Translation Edition)

Purgatory is presented here in a new verse translation by acclaimed poet and prize-winning translator J.G. Nichols. Also included are the original Italian text, extensive notes and a critical apparatus focusing on Dante’s life and works.

Describing Dante’s second stage in his arduous journey to redemption, Purgatory features a host of unforgettable scenes and characters, and arguably some of the best poetry to be found in the Divine Comedy. The gloom, torments and evils of Hell have been left behind, but Dante’s ascent of Mount Purgatory towards Paradise remains fraught with obstacles, not least the burden of his own mortality and his human passions.

“Bravo for this new version of D Bravo, Professor Nichols!” – The Church Times

“All life is written in Dante's burning pages, and Nichols has done him proud.” – Ian Thomson, The Observer
