But Palma's achievement in rhyming tercets was quickly received as a spectacular feat of poetic artistry that was \"accurate . . . admirably clear, and readable\" (Richard Wilbur) and that, \"in capturing the sense, sound, and spirit of the original... comes close to perfection\" (X. J. Kennedy).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, more than two decades later, Palma has applied the same virtuosic attention to the form and flow of the \u003cem\u003ePurgatorio\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eParadiso\u003c\/em\u003e, attending to both the tiniest details and the grand design of the entire \u003cem\u003eCommedia\u003c\/em\u003e and offering a fluid and readable English version that reveals to contemporary readers the sound, sense, and awe-inspiring beauty of Italian literature's greatest poem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dante Alighieri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324095547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324095545\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 12\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Dante Alighieri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45482076307711,"sku":"9781324095545","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2afe916-d801-4bb6-89ef-69d0aa5e71a3.jpg?v=1715988504","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-divine-comedy-dante-alighieri-9781324095545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
