An oversized, slipcase-housed, elaborately illustrated art book edition of THE INFERNO, one of the great towering texts of world literature. Welcome to a strange new Hell. Abandon all expectations, you who enter here.
British linocut artist Sophy Hollington brings her singular vision to Dante Alighieri's manificent funnel of retribution and suffering. And in that strange upside-down city, abandoned by God, she finds hope and humor amidst the darkness. This vivid and gorgeous edition features Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poetic translation of the landmark Italian poem, alongside a visionary suite of illustrations depicting Hell's vast architecture, an exclusive introduction from the renowned Ukrainian poet Ilya Kaminsky, and an original essay from the Dante scholar Kristina Olson.
A stunning new entry in Beehive Books award-winning Illuminated Editions series, this volume is housed in a shimmering die-cut sculpturally embossed slipcase, printed on uncoated acid-free paper, and published in an oversized 9x12" trim format.
