D.M. Black, Robert Chandler and Giovanna di Ceglie on Dante

Dante’s <em>Purgatorio</em> is as much an allegory of spiritual transformation as it is one of psychological rebirth, personal healing, and self-transcendence. Combining a graceful lyricism with decades of study, D.M. Black’s translation and commentary reveal new dimensions in&nbsp;Dante’s many portraits of people trying to find their way through life and what comes after. This fresh, bilingual edition of Purgatoriowas published on September 14th 2021, the 700th anniversary of&nbsp;Dante’s death. Black is in conversation with writer and translator Robert Chandler and psychoanalyst Giovanna di Ceglie.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
