Synopsis "Inferno: A new Verse Translation: Inferno vol 1 (New Verse Translation by Michael Palma)"

Unlike every known translator before him, Michael Palma re-creates Dante's masterpiece in all its dimensions, without emphasizing some aspects over others, rendering Inferno into contemporary American English while maintaining Dante's original triple rhyme scheme. The result is a translation that can be appreciated for its literal faithfulness and beautiful poetic form, accompanied by facing-page Italian and explanatory notes. A superb translation; highly recommended.--Library Journal I find Michael Palma's Inferno to be one that I'm having a hard time improving.--Lawrence Ferlinghetti I think highly of Michael Palma's Inferno....Readers will find it admirably clear and readable.--Richard Wilbur

A Dante también se le llama el "Padre del idioma" italiano. Participó activamente en las luchas políticas de su tiempo, por lo cual fue desterrado de su ciudad natal. Fue un activo defensor de la unidad italiana. Escribió varios tratados en latín sobre literatura, política y filosofía.
