Description: The Inferno of Dante: Translated by Robert Pinsky, Bilingual, Brand New Paperback First Noonday Press Edition (1996), Ships Free This widely praised version of Dante's masterpiece, which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award of the Academy of American Poets, is more idiomatic and approachable than its many predecessors. Former U.S. Poet Laureate Pinsky employs slant rhyme and near rhyme to preserve Dante's terza rima form without distorting the flow of English idiom. The result is a clear and vigorous translation that is also unique, student-friendly, and faithful to the original: "A brilliant success," as Bernard Knox wrote in The New York Review of Books. Book is brand new, tight spine, never read. Minor shelf wear as expected for a 25 year old edition--slight upturn of corners on front cover, remnant of price tag on right lower corner of front cover (see photos). Free shipping in the US by USPS Media Mail. International shipping is possible but costs (including customs fees) are not included. I do not believe in using stock photos. The photos are of the actual book you will receive, unlike the giant ebay booksellers! Please feel free to message with questions. Stay safe! About me: "daddybeanie" has been my user name since the early days of ebay back in the 1990's. I was (and am) dedicated to my kids, and back in the day I scoured ebay for beanie babies--and travelled from shop to shop, befriending store owners and getting the hot beanie releases of the day. Same with Pokemon cards, Legos, books, coins, Russian nesting dolls, sports memorabilia, and too many other things to count. Eventually kids leave the nest, and I'm now selling off certain items to support new purchases for--you guessed it--grandchildren! As a Dad and a pediatrician, I tend to sprinkle some of my ebay listings with bits of advice for parents--please ignore those if they are not relevant or if you disagree! Thank you for visiting! Please stop by my ebay store--daddybeanie Books and Collectibles. Thank you for visiting!
