## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Accurate and moving translation with invaluable notes at the end of each canto.
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2017*

I highly recommend this translation of Dante's Inferno. For many years, Ciardi's translation has been the standard and it has much to recommend it. But Ciardi's rhymed stanzas are looser, wordier, and less faithful to the original than Thornton's blank verse. Thornton brings us closer to what  Dante wrote. And the excellent notes at the end of each canto help bring this masterpiece to life for a modern reader.

    There's always room for a fresh version of hell.
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2018*

With decades of study and meticulous craftsmanship, Dr. Peter Thornton has offered his translation of “The Inferno.” I do not know Italian, but I have read a couple of other translations of “The Inferno,” and I found this one the best for several reasons. First, the poetry is vivid. I felt like orange flames and the stench of Sulphur were my companions as much as were Dante and Virgil.The verse itself is a second reason I liked this translation. The meter – iambic pentameter, the ordinary meter of the English language –  does not intrude into the poetry itself. That is, I wasn’t conscious of stretching of words or awkward diction for the sake of the meter.You can enjoy the translation without bothering to read the footnotes, but once you start, you are off on another journey, equally absorbing – this one through contemporary (to Dante) Florentine history, Christian metaphors and allusions, Roman legend and mythology, and Catholic scholars from Augustine on.Read the translation; savor the footnotes. There’s always room for a fresh version of hell.

    EXCELLENT translation to a timeless classic!
  

*by D***X on Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2017*

THANK YOU !!  I've been trying to expose my kids to more of the classics.  But every translation of the Divine Comedy I've come across has been so difficult that I couldn't even get through Hell (felt like hell trying to read it).  UNTIL NOW !!!  Thank you Mr. Douglas Neff for this translation.  It keeps all the flavor, tension, and character; and stays true to the original story.  Reading this translation, I find myself more absorbed and engaged in trying to understand what Dante was trying to get across, and why he picked certain persons for certain levels, and doing research into some of the people, places, vices, etc. that he talks about, instead of spending hours trying to decipher the actual language of the translation.  My 7 year old is totally engaged, while at the same time, my 15 year old and I are getting into some very interesting discussions (Dante put Pope Celestine V with those souls who neither heaven nor hell want, because he resigned as Pope . . . I wonder what that means for old former pope Benedict XVI / cardinal Ratzinger who just did the same thing).  And none of us are getting ground down by having to stop and try and translate the language.I cannot encourage you strongly enough to get this book.  You will not be disappointed. I'm now trying to find a comparable translation of Purgatory and Paradise so we can complete the story.
