Inferno

內容簡介

內容簡介 《地獄》是義大利詩人但丁創作的長詩《神曲》三部中的地獄篇，描繪但丁在古羅馬詩人維吉爾的靈魂帶領下，穿越地獄的所見所聞。但丁幻想地獄形似一個上寬下窄的漏斗，共9層。第一層是靈薄獄，生於基督之前，未能接受洗禮的古代異教徒，在這裡等候上帝的審判。在其餘8層，罪人的靈魂按生前所犯的罪孽，分別接受不同的嚴酷刑罰。但丁在地獄看到希羅神話、基督教故事與古歷史裡的許多人物，其中不乏當時的佛羅倫斯官員、昏庸的帝王與犯下不同罪孽而被打下地獄的人，他時而害怕、時而輕蔑，時而則對一些他不忍苛責的靈魂表達同情，展現人文主義的關懷。Michael Palma’s translation of the Inferno reproduces in contemporary English Dante’s intricate triple-rhyming terza rima form, defying the conventional wisdom of literary commentators who long argued that it simply cannot be done. This spectacular feat of poetic artistry— “accurate … admirably clear, and readable” (Richard Wilbur)—“in capturing the sense, sound, and spirit of the original … comes close to perfection” (X.J. Kennedy).
