Classic of Lterature
The book was in very good condition. The translators tried to be as exact as possible in English as Dante was in Italian, "to resist the temptation to make the translation sound better than the original would allow." The result is bland, almost simplistic. Then it must read that way in Italian, too. Thomas G Bergin's translation in the Crofts Classics is much more lively and entertaining, but less faithful. If you want enjoy the reading, though, I would recommend the Bergin translation.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
