Olga Sedakova's new book is the fruit of her many years of work on creating a non-poetical, as close as possible to the literal, commented translation of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. The book opens with general reflections on the principles of a new translation and commentary: pondering the achievements of domestic and Western Dante studies and the state of Russian literature, Olga Sedakova answers the question of what it means to "translate Dante" now. Translations and commentaries to the three songs of Purgatory and Paradise have been prepared in this perspective. In accordance with the tradition of Lectura Dantis, each song is preceded by an introduction that prepares the reader for the encounter with the text and helps to follow the course of Dante's thought. Restoring the theological, philosophical and ethical foundations of the Divine Comedy, Olga Sedakova proves herself to be a brilliant philologist and theologian. At the same time, reading her translation and commentary, it is impossible not to feel that they were made by a poet who is conducting a conversation about Dante with the involvement of a broad poetic tradition, who is able to hear in the lines of the great Italian what only a poet hears, and to let this sound in modern poetic speech.
