Purgatory: Describing Dante`s second stage in his arduous journey to redemption, Purgatory features a host of unforgettable scenes and characters, and arguably some of the best poetry to be found in the Divine Comedy. The gloom, torments and evils of Hell have been left behind, but Dante`s ascent of Mount Purgatory towards Paradise remains fraught with obstacles, not least the burden of his own mortality and his human passions.Purgatory is presented here in a new verse translation by acclaimed poet and prize-winning translator J.G. Nichols. Also included are the original Italian text, extensive notes and a critical apparatus focusing on Dante`s life and works. Ebook.

Excerpt from Purgatory The difficulty, or rather the impossibility, of adequately reproducing in any language the poetry of another, is one of the commonplaces of criticism, and it has by no one been more forcibly stated than by Dante himself. 'Nulla cosa," he says, "per legame musaico armonizzata si puo della sua loquela in altra trasmutare sanza rompere tutta sua dolcezza e armonia" (Convito, i. 7). The sweetness and music of a poem depend upon the conditions of its language; they cannot be transferred by mere imitation of the form of the original; they can only be reproduced, if at all, by being conformed to the requirements of the new medium. The least literal of translations is that which follows closest to the order of the words, the structure of the sentence, the arrangement of the period. The least harmonious of verse translations is that which is set to a foreign and unfamiliar metre. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

O'er better waves to speed her rapid course The light bark of my genius lifts the sail, Well pleas'd to leave so cruel sea behind; And of that second region will I sing, In which the human spirit from sinful blot Is purg'd, and for ascent to Heaven prepares.
