## Description

desertcart.com: Vita Nuova (Oxford World's Classics): 9780199540655: Dante Alighieri, Musa, Mark: Books

Review: Excellent translation - After seeing a PBS program on Dante, I thought I'd check out one of the works noted in the show. Vita Nuova is very much a love story, or maybe unrequited love story that supposedly was the experience of Dante himself. Probably what makes this small book so enjoyable is the excellent translation, it's very readable. Of course the reader has to rely on the person doing the translation and trust that what he tells the reader is in fact the words of Dante. Assuming this, the translation is very enjoyable in a bitter sweet kind of way.
Review: Great translation of a great piece of literature - This is the second translation of Dante's Vita Nuova I've read and was far better than the first! I would recommend reading the translators notes before starting, as Mark Musa is not only an expert at translation but the intricacies and depth of Dante's work. This is a great piece of literature- it tackles love, death, and the life of an artist. I would recommend it to absolutely anyone!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Vita Nuova translation.
*by C***Y on November 5, 2016*

This is the best translation by far, the quality of the text is exactly as described. The book is perfect for those that are new to reading Dante, the introduction sets the reader up for success in understanding the text. You will definitely enjoy the translations and I am glad to have replaced my worn out copy!
