Description: TITLE: DANTE’S INFERNO AUTHOR: Dante (Alighieri) PUBLISHER: Chronicle Books (San Francisco) ADAPTED BY: Sandow Birk & Marcus Sanders ILLUSTRATED BY: Sandow Birk YEAR: 2004 PAGE #’s: 218 GENERAL CONDITIONS: Very much intact. In great shape with only some minor shelf wear. Spine feels as if book was never opened. BINDING: Soft back A faithful yet totally original contemporary spin on a classic, Dante's Inferno as interpreted by acclaimed artist Sandow Birk and writer Marcus Sanders is a journey through a Hell that bears an eerie semblance to our own world. Birk, hailed by the Los Angeles Times as one of "realism's edgier, more visionary painters," offers extraordinarily nuanced and vivid illustrations inspired by Gustave Dore's famous engravings. This modern interpretation depicts an infernal landscape infested with mini-malls, fast food restaurants, ATMs, and other urban fixtures, and a text that cleverly incorporates urban slang and references to modern events and people (as Dante did in his own time). This striking edition of Dante's Inferno is a genuinely provocative and insightful adaptation for a new generation of readers.
