À propos de cet audio

 Robert Pinsky's new verse translation of the Inferno makes it clear to the contemporary listener, as no other in English has done, why Dante is universally considered a poet of great power, intensity, and strength. This critically acclaimed translation was awarded the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Poetry and the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award given by the Academy of American Poets. Well versed, rapid, and various in style, the Inferno is narrated by Pinsky and three other leading poets: Seamus Heaney, Frank Bidart, and Louise Glück.

This may not be the best way to encounter the Inferno for the first time, but for anyone looking to brush up their knowledge of it or experience it in a new way this is a worthwhile purchase. Especially with poets like Heaney and Gluck reading, this is a good way to connect the poetry of past and present. In short, despite the gruesomeness of some of the cantos, these readings make the Inferno a text of pleasure.
