Dark Matter eLiquid

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

The Divine Comedy: Volume 1: Inferno (Penguin Classics)

Description

This vigorous translation of the poet's journey through the circles of hell re-creates for the modern reader the rich meanings that Dante's poem had for his contemporaries. Musa's introduction and commentaries on each of the cantos brilliantly illuminate the text.

Translated with Notes and an Introduction by Mark Musa

Summary: "The Divne Comedy"

I chose this translation because the translator had an Italian name, but found it unsatisfactory. It doesn't have the tone of the original. Unfortunately, I haven't found a translation that does.

Summary: "Review of this edition"

I am incredibly impressed with this rendition of Dante. The author abandons rhyme but writes the work in variations of iambic pentameter. This preserves the dramatic/poetic elements of the work without the rhyme-forced word choice so often associated with the other editions available. The commentary and background notes are excellent. All around, this is my favorite edition of Dante. Incredibly, it bears reading aloud, which many of the rhymed editions do not.

Summary: "This is NOT MUSA's translation"

Note,

This is Longfellow's translation, as it says at the title of this item, NOT MUSA's, which is the translation reviewed. I have nothing against Longfellow's translation, but I alredy bought that in Kindle version, and I was interested to see how Kindle would deal with Musa's side by side translation. So, now I know. It doesn't. It isn't musa, this is a false, misleading, mistaken set of reviews.

Summary: "The best translation of Dante's Commedia"

This translation is faithful and modern at the same time. I know Italian and have read the italian poem, but I am also interested in translation, and have found that Musa's work is far superior to others. He explains his criteria in the translator's note: use of modern words, exclusion of rhyme and fidelity to the semantic content. Solutions like the verse: "And, everywhere I looked, the beast was there" (Inf. I, 34) which translates "e non mi si partia dinanzi al volto" fascinate me. This is a search for clarity and fidelity at the same time, dealing with a language that does not simplify things for a translator.
Very recommendable.

Summary: "An oustanding translation."

After reviewing many different translations of this book I found this one by Musa to be an extreamly good translation. With regards to the first time reader this particular edition is absolutly the finest and really stands out for its clarity and the extreamly helpful notes section after each cantos. In some of the other translations I found the notes to be either way too sparse to help the reader. While yet the notes section in other editions are often very large and far to detailed so that only a scholar mind find it of any real use. I highly recomend this book as well as the other two books in the trilogy.
