Özet

"Abandon all hope you who enter here." ("Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch’intrate.") Dante’s Hell is one of the most remarkable visions in Western literature. An allegory for his and future ages, it is, at the same time, an account of terrifying realism. Passing under a lintel emblazoned with these frightening words, the poet is led down into the depths by Virgil and shown those doomed to suffer eternal torment for vices exhibited and sins committed on earth.

Inferno is the first part of the long journey which continues through redemption to revelation - through Purgatory and Paradise - and, in this translation, prepared especially for the audiobook, his images are as vivid as when the poem was first written in the early years of the 14th century.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Actor and writer Heathcote Williams gives a masterful performance of Benedict Flynn's blank verse translation. Williams modulates his smooth baritone into different characters, maintaining an even pace through this classic work. The cantos are punctuated by short selections of music ranging from Gregorian chant to Renaissance dance music.... A plaintive horn sounds the beginning of Inferno, the beginning of Dante's journey from The Gloomy Wood to the Circles of Hell. Dante begins alone in a fog of seeking and confusion until he encounters the shade of Virgil. When the poets begin the descent at the beginning of Canto Three, Williams's booming voice is technologically enhanced to create an echo for the famous line, "Abandon all hope, you who enter here."

I often rate books 5 stars on their own merits, but by gosh this is an excellent 5 stars… narration and musical interludes set a highly compelling scene here - I really enjoyed this telling, and will definitely seek out others in the series.

Fantastic audiobook

Heathcote Williams does a superlative job of bringing Dante’s Inferno to our ears. Flynn’s translation is however, not the one I favour most, preferring Instead Anthony Esolen’s or that of the Hollanders. Sometimes, Flynn’s translation is inexplicably different to the Italian. Leaving the translation aside, the production value of this recording is also superb, and William’s performance is masterful, adding just the right interpretation and emotion to the different characters and really drawing us into the journey and this infernal world.

Excellent narration/performance

I listened to each canto several times and enjoyed it immensely. They are read with feeling and do well to highlight the different characters speaking. I strongly recommend listening to it in parallel with the explanatory work by Mark Vernon which he released in 2021, also on Audible. Mark goes through each canto and explains what is going on - what Dante is referencing and how scholars have interpreted the allegory. The combination of both really helped me think about what sin is and why it pushes us away from God.

Absolutely brilliant

I thoroughly enjoyed this atmospheric and immersive performance of Dante’s Inferno - I found the translation fresh and lively, and the music really enhanced the atmosphere, making for a wonderful experience all round.
