Divine Comedy (All Three Volumes)

Some people think that the translation is not good and lacks the charm of the original poem. I can only say that the translation itself needs to adjust the meaning and charm of different languages. If you pursue the original work, you can read the original work (as long as you can understand it, but for those who really pursue the original work, you should not be afraid of learning Italian. After all, where there is a will, there is a way). If you read the translation instead of the original work, don't be too harsh on the rhythm of the translation, but think deeply about the connotation expressed in this long narrative poem. Besides, in a narrative poem, there must be vulgar people, or noble people will be angry, or some other circumstances. If their words become literate at this time, wouldn't it be even more problematic? Therefore, as a long narrative poem that reflects various situations in the world, "The Divine Comedy" precisely combines the gorgeous, poetic and vulgar, direct language to better fit the theme.

To borrow other people's comments: "The great Dante has already transcended the subject. He wrote an encyclopedia of all knowledge about the Middle Ages, while embracing the most extraordinary imagination and the most complex and intense emotions that humans can achieve."

It's great, charming, poetic, and well-annotated. Although I already own a genuine set of Mr. Wang Weike's prose version of "The Divine Comedy", after trial reading this edition, I am struggling with whether to buy another set of genuine Mr. Huang Guobin's poetic translation when my salary is paid next month.

Thanks to the translator, it took eighteen years to present such an exquisite Chinese translation of "The Divine Comedy". I was deeply shocked by the Chinese characters translated inside. Full of thought and philosophy. And, the deep power and beauty of words. The writing, as well as the choice of words and sentences, are very quiet, elegant, precise and unique. The beauty of this writing is fascinating and intoxicating. I am deeply impressed by the poet Dante and his unique literary art. I can't help but sigh, this is truly a masterpiece. I'm lucky enough to read it, even lucky enough.

Beatrice is the mirror. "How can you see your reality without my illusion?"

I think the book "The Divine Comedy" is amazing! It's like a magical adventure in which Dante is led by Virgil through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise. I especially like the Inferno. The scenes and characters there are so imaginative, which opened my eyes. And the character of Dante, his courage and curiosity are really admirable. Moreover, the annotations of this translation are also very detailed, making it easier for me to understand the culture and history of the Middle Ages. In short, "The Divine Comedy" is a good book worth reading again and again!

I seemed to be on a pilgrimage with the author, seeing what the author saw and listening to what the author heard.

Reading suggestions: 1. Be sure to read the translator's instructions 2. It will be easier if you have a basic understanding of Western history, mythology, and religion 3. Translating poetry is always the most difficult. Although the translator has tried his best, he still cannot restore the beauty of the eleven-syllable poem. Therefore, if you just want to understand the story, you can just read the summary of each chapter.

Em, was it rearranged later? Some comments and paragraphs do not match the content

Just reading the order will already benefit a lot.

I hope the author will publish a new book

Greatness needs no words

The writing style and connotation are both very good.

You can see it, it's very difficult to look deeply.
