The Inferno of Dante

A New Verse Translation by Robert Pinsky

De: Dante Alighieri, Robert Pinsky - translator

Narrado por: Seamus Heaney, Frank Bidart, Louise Glück

Robert Pinsky's new verse translation of the Inferno makes it clear to the contemporary listener, as no other in English has done, why Dante is universally considered a poet of great power, intensity, and strength. This critically acclaimed translation was awarded the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Poetry and the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award given by the Academy of American Poets. Well versed, rapid, and various in style, the Inferno is narrated by Pinsky and three other leading poets: Seamus Heaney, Frank Bidart, and Louise Glück.

Not a fav

Too many actors. The young guy is acting so forced it's annoying, and his cadence is off. Then there is the girl robot who is so monotone. You can also hear office back ground noise. Then only two that made this tollerable was the european and the other guy. The actors totally ruined the book, I just couldn't wait to get done with it.

Monotone

I couldn't listen to the reader's monotone voice for any longer than a few minutes.

The narrators have listless tone.

Their ability to draw you in has been exanguanated. Their lethargic and sluggish performance is boring.

It's hard for me to stay focused on the content with their ability to perform the story.

Dante...amazing
