Inferno of Dante Alighieri by Ciaran Carson
"Inferno", the first volume of Dante Alighieri's "La Divina Comemedia", is an imaginitive tour de force. Dante's hero, Virgil, guides him through hell, showing him the inhabitants of each of its nine circles and examples of the divine justice meted out to them. Ciaran Carson's translation of the text is suffused with wit, anger and irreverent vigour and attempts not to diminish the pathos of the original.
"ON SHAMROCK TEA: 'Ciaran Carson is the circus act of contemporary Irish letters - a double-jointed marvel who defies the narrow, classifying imagination' Guardian
Ciaran Carson was born in 1948 in Belfast where he still lives. He has been awarded the Irish Times Literature Prize, the T.S. Eliot Prize and the Yorkshire Post Prize.
