{"product_id":"inferno-dante-alighieri-9781631491078","title":"Inferno","description":"The most captivating part of perhaps the greatest epic poem ever written, Dante's \u003cem\u003eInferno\u003c\/em\u003e still holds the power to thrill and inspire. The medieval equivalent of a thriller, \u003cem\u003eInferno\u003c\/em\u003e follows Dante and his faithful guide, Virgil, as they traverse the complex geography of Hell, confronting its many threats, macabre punishments, and historical figures, before reaching the deep chamber where Satan himself resides. Now, in this new translation, Clive James communicates not just the transcendent poetry of Dante's language but also the excitement and terror of his journey through the underworld. Instead of Dante's original \u003cem\u003eterza rima\u003c\/em\u003e, a form which in English tends to show the strain of composition, James employs fluently linked quatrains, thereby conveying the seamless flow of Dante's poetry and the headlong momentum of the action. As James writes in his introduction, Dante's great poem \"can still astonish us, whether we believe in the supernatural or not. At the very least it will make us believe in poetry.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dante Alighieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1631491075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631491078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Dante Alighieri","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987971965183,"sku":"9781631491078","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08329841-f453-447e-b0f9-295b7b9fb671.jpg?v=1683291904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inferno-dante-alighieri-9781631491078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
