The Divine Comedy describes Dante's descent into Hell with Virgil as a guide; his ascent of Mount Purgatory and encounter with his dead love, Beatrice; and finally, his arrival in Heaven. Examining questions of faith, desire and enlightenment, the poem is a brilliantly nuanced and moving allegory of human redemption. This major translation, described by Bernard O'Donoghue as 'likely to be the best modern version of Dante', is published here for the first time in a single volume.

Eleştirmen yorumları

The perfect balance of tightness and colloquialism . . . Likely to be the best modern version of Dante (Bernard O'Donoghue)
Kirkpatrick brings a more nuanced sense of the Italian and a more mediated appreciation of the poem's construction than nearly all of his competitors
We gain much from Kirkpatrick's fidelity to syntax and nuance... His introduction...tells you, very readable indeed, pretty much all you need for a heightened appreciation of the work

A classic piece of literature. I enjoyed listening to it, although admittedly I found it very challenging to follow due to the way it has been written. The text is rich in referring to Italian characters that may or may not be unknown to the reader.

Enjoyable and educational - although challenging

Fascinating! will re-visit, probably many times

Now it makes sense!

The greatest work of literature you can set your mind to. Take your time to thoroughly enjoy this, I would recommend reading Virgil and follow up with The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Condrad. Then if you still have an appetite delve in the Vietnam War, according to Francis Ford Coppola & Martin sheen (Apocalypse Now). This book is everywhere and referenced by everyone. As ubiquitous as Shakespeare. Even if you've never read the Divine Comedy you'll know the story and use Dante's language. 🙂

A classic

Actors shout too much. This is a great and classic book and in parts it comes alive but we want actors to read a book intelligently not to dramatize it in a way that they're shouting at us.

Great book. Shouting actors

I'm not going to lie, it's a long listen and a concerted effort of concentration is required throughout. However, the whole comedy could have been made so much easier, if Robin Kirkpatrick would have let someone else read the part of Virgil, along with the narration of the introduction etc. I don't scoff at and indeed am full of admiration of his herculean effort and dedication to the task of providing a translation but it clearly exhausted him and this came across in his delivery. His sighing is clearly audible throughout, especially in the reading of the introduction and the apparent tiredness in his voice makes it monotone and quite frankly boring to listen to. Sorry Robin!

Mammouth undertáking!
