The Inferno by Dante, Robert Hollander & Jean Hollander Book Summary

The epic grandeur of Dante’s masterpiece has inspired readers for 700 years, and has entered the human imagination. But the further we move from the late medieval world of Dante, the more a rich understanding and enjoyment of the poem depends on knowledgeable guidance. Robert Hollander, a renowned scholar and master teacher of Dante, and Jean Hollander, an accomplished poet, have written a beautifully accurate and clear verse translation of the first volume of Dante’s epic poem, the Divine Comedy. Featuring the original Italian text opposite the translation, this edition also offers an extensive and accessible introduction and generous commentaries that draw on centuries of scholarship as well as Robert Hollander’s own decades of teaching and research. The Hollander translation is the new standard in English of this essential work of world literature.

One of the great translations, but.... The two Hollanders, Jean an established poet, and Robert a scholar of Italian literature and Dante, make for a powerful team in translating the Inferno. They preserve, to a far greater degree than most, not only the sense of the text but details of imagery that are often lost. My criticisms of the book are purely technical. I miss the the ability and ease of side by side Italian and English. While tools are there to quickly switch back and forth (just click on the line number), it still is much less functional than a simple side by side presentation. I also find the use of large printed arrows in place of footnote numbers to be visually intrusive, and while numbering may be superfluous in iBook's hypertext scheme, its absence makes teaching use needlessly difficult - though this is true of both print and etext editions.

Not What I Was Expecting in the BEST Possible Way. I didn’t believe in hell before I started this book, and I certainly don’t believe in it now. This is actually a great piece for the Halloween season. Some of it comes off as cartoonish and more like a fun house. None of it is scary. I don’t see how this made anyone fear hell or made anyone more devout, but to each their own, I guess. I put off reading this book for about a decade because I was expecting to be confused and overwhelmed. That is not at all what I found within these pages. The translators do a marvellous job making this approachable, clear, and very understandable. I’m sorry I didn’t read this sooner, but I’m glad I chose this translation over others.
