Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Inferno of Dante Language is the mirror of temperament and in it we read the soul of a race. No literary work, however simple or unimportant, can be translated into an alien tongue without losing something innate, personal, and vital which the original alone can express. The translation may have been carefully studied, many dictionaries may have been used in its preparation, but the result inevitably suggests to our minds the lifeless, bottled specimens upon the shelves of our museums. If this be true of the simplest translation, how hopeless would seem an attempt to render a great work intelligible to a foreigner, more especially if that work were the masterpiece of one of the greatest poets the world has known. Hopeless and impossible indeed! One distinguished modern writer, Mr. Henry Adams, has felt so strongly upon this subject that he has said: "... the whole Trinity, with the Virgin to aid, has not the power to pardon him who should translate Dante or Petrarch." One courts still further failure in attempting to translate the Divina Commedia into English terza rima. This has been done many times in the course of the last three hundred years, but the result has usually been unsatisfactory and often surprisingly unskillful.
