Szczegóły produktu

‘Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them. There is no third.’
  1. T. S. Eliot
Celebrating one of the greatest classics of world literature, this exquisite edition features Robin Kirkpatrick’s acclaimed translation, written in three-line rhyming stanzas to follow Dante’s terza rima scheme. From the earliest manuscripts, a tradition of illustration has surrounded The Divine Comedy and Neil Packer has created illustrations for all 100 cantos, drawing out details from the text. Packer’s work draws on diverse influences including English woodblock prints from the 1930s, North African designs and Art Deco, and it extends to exquisite hand-drawn lettering and a striking binding design. A specially commissioned essay by Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Jhumpa Lahiri, completes this extraordinary edition. Written in 33 passages, mirroring the cantos, her thoughts range from film to numerology in an entertaining and absorbing piece.

A good translation in a pretty book. Very nice artwork inside the book and on the slipcase and printed in a very easily readable font on smooth premium paper. Just sad that it is bound in paper and that the extensive and very helpful notes by the translator are not included, but that is also somewhat understandable. At least the paper binding is not easily damaged. Worth it if you really like Dante, Neil Packer's art and the translation by Kirkpatrick, but you should also get your hands on his useful notes on the text.

Bought this for the beautiful, intricate artwork by Neil Packer and was not disappointed! Knocked a star off as the fact it is paper-bound leaves it rather more fragile than its clothbound peers, which is a little disappointing, but Folio Society were very good to replace a damaged first copy at no extra cost.

Oh my goodness, such a beautiful book!! The design is such that you would want to keep it on a coffee table rather than place on a bookshelf.
