''There is no greater sorrow then to recall our times of joy in wretchedness.'' Considered one of the greatest medieval poems written in the common vernacular of the time, Dante''s Inferno begins on Good Friday in the year 1300. As he wanders through a dark forest, Dante loses his way and stumbles across the ghost of the poet Virgil. Virgil promises to lead him back to the top of the mountain, but to do so, they must pass through Hell, encountering all manner of shocking horrors, sins and evil torments along the way, evoking questions about God''s justice, human behaviour and Christianity.

This translation of Dante's "Inferno" preserves the original simple, natural style while capturing the swift movement of the Italian verse. Mark Musa's blank verse rendition of the poet's journey through the circles of hell recreates the rich meanings that Dante's poem had for his contemporaries.

Iniziato con ogni probabilità nel 1306-07, l'Inferno è la prima delle tre cantiche che compongono la Commedia dantesca. In questi trentaquattro canti il poeta racconta l'inizio del suo viaggio ultraterreno, a partire dallo smarrimento nella "selva oscura", dove incontra il poeta latino Virgilio che sarà sua guida, giù giù per i diversi gironi, fino all'orrenda visione di Lucifero e quindi alla faticosa risalita "a riveder le stelle". Un itinerario nell'animo umano lungo il quale Dante incontra decine di indimenticabili personaggi, alle cui tristi vicende egli sa guardare con fermo giudizio ma anche con una suprema pietas che è forse il maggior segno del suo profondo atteggiamento di estrema modernità.

Dante's epic in a new, sumptuous and delightful clothbound edition.
Describing Dante's descent into Hell midway through his life with Virgil as a guide, Inferno depicts a cruel underworld in which desperate figures are condemned to eternal damnation for committing one or more of seven deadly sins. As he descends through nine concentric circles of increasingly agonising torture, Dante encounters doomed souls including the pagan Aeneas, the liar Odysseus, the suicide Cleopatra, and his own political enemies, damned for their deceit. Led by leering demons, the poet must ultimately journey with Virgil to the deepest level of all. For it is only by encountering Satan, in the heart of Hell, that he can truly understand the tragedy of sin.
