Really a strong 2.5 stars, but despite the sloogggg that was most of the book, it sorta redeemed (heh) itself with the weird surrealness in the last 5 or so cantos to warrant rounding up!

“Rüzgarda doruğu bel vermeyen

sağlam bir kule gibi ol sen

çünkü düşüncesinin üstüne düşünce yeşerten

uzaklaşmış olur ereğinden,

ikinci düşünce güçsüz kılar ilkini” (beşinci kanto)


Benim gibi bir amatör için Dante'yi hakkını vererek okumak çok kolay bir şey değil. Bu yüzden Araf incelememi içerikten bir alıntıyla kısa tutacağım.

Mitololojiye hakim olduğum için ilgili göndermelerde sıkıntı çekmesem de isimler ve dönem olaylarına hakim olmamam yüzünden dip notlarda kaybolduğum zamanlar oldu. Çevirmenin notları çok doyurucu olsa da bana yetmediği için sık sık ek kaynaklara başvurdum. İlk kitapta daha rahat bir okuma süreci geçirmiştim. Ama umutsuz değilim.

Sadece ilerleyen zamanlarda tekrar okuma yapmam gerektiğini hissediyorum.

İlahi Komedya, her insanın ömründe bir değil birkaç kere okuması gerektiği eserlerden biri düşüncem değişmedi...

What can I add? Perhaps that Purgatorio is like a springtime after Inferno. There is life and joy and joi de vivre. The arts are celebrated, love is celebrated, life is celebrated. And yet in Dante's scheme of things it is a step on the way to something more. Look forward to reading it again.

The book is a classic. That much is obvious, but I have to say that I really did enjoy this. (Okay, maybe not as much as Inferno, but I have a somewhat twisted mind.) What I do admire is the symmetry of Dante. I am looking forward to reading Paradiso, so I can see if the symmetry somehow continues into heaven. Dante is certainly creative in his "punishments" and that really does make you want to keep reading to find out what's in store for the next group of people. An interesting discussion point would be which punishment (or purging, rather) would be the worst to you? Does that correspond with what you think your besetting sin is?

Anyway, it's allegorical but still a fascinating idea.
