Items related to Purgatorio
Dante's timeless drama of an ascent through purgatory. With a new translattion by John Ciardi. From the back cover: "Ciardi's 'Purgatorio' more than satisfies the interest and expectation that were aroused a few years ago by his version of the 'Inferno.' The clean force of the original comes through with astonishing success. Dante cannot speak in English, perhaps; but Ciardi has given us the next best thing. . . "

From the Inside Flap:
At the pinnacle of a grand and prolific career, W. S. Merwin has given us a shimmering new verse translation of the central section of Dante's Divine Comedy -- the Purgatorio.
Led by Virgil, inspired by his love for Beatrice, Dante makes the arduous journey up the Mountain of Purgatory, where souls are cleansed to prepare them for the ultimate ascent to heaven. Presented with the original Italian text, and with Merwin's notes and commentary, this luminous new interpretation of Dante's great poem of sin, repentance, and salvation is a profoundly moving work of art and the definitive translation for our time.
From the Hardcover edition.
