Free-Range Chicken Gardens

Schloss Gripsholm beginnt mit einem fiktiven Briefwechsel, in dem der Verleger
Ernst Rowohlt seinem Autor nahe legt, eine kleine Liebes- oder Sommergeschichte
zu schreiben, welche die Leute >>ihrer Freundin schenken k&ouml;nnen<<. Danach
setzt die eigentliche Handlung ein - der Schweden-Urlaub des Ich-Erz&auml;hlers
Peter und seiner Freundin, der Sekret&auml;rin Lydia. Die beiden mieten sich
in einem Anbau von Schloss Gripsholm ein. Dort verleben sie heiter verliebte
Tage, mokieren sich &uuml;ber konservative Touristen und lassen die Seele baumeln.
Zwischenzeitlich bekommen sie Besuch, zun&auml;chst von Peters Freund Karlchen,
dann von Lydias Freundin Billie, woraus sich eine Nacht zu dritt entwickelt.
Auf einem ihrer Spazierg&auml;nge lernen Peter und Lydia die kleine, tief verst&ouml;rte
Ada kennen, die im nahen Kinderheim wohnt und unter der tyrannischen Direktorin
leidet. Die beiden setzen sich daf&uuml;r ein, dass die Kleine wieder zu ihrer
Mutter nach Z&uuml;rich zur&uuml;ckkehren kann, und nehmen sie bei ihrer Abreise
mit.

&ldquo;A masterly translation.&rdquo; &#8213;Judith Thurman, The New Yorker&ldquo;Kirkpatrick brings a more nuanced sense of the Italian and a more mediated appreciation of the poem&rsquo;s construction than nearly all of his competitors. . . . There is much to recommend here&#8213;certainly the intelligence, the energy, the linguistic range. . . . His introduction and canto-by-canto notes are remarkably level and lucid, as attentive to structure as to syntax, language and motif, and deftly cross-reference the whole poem. On their own, they would justify the price.&rdquo;&#8213;The Times (London)&ldquo;We gain much from Kirkpatrick&rsquo;s fidelity to syntax and nuance, and from the fact that the Italian is on the facing page for our inspection. . . . His introduction . . . tells you, very readably indeed, pretty much all you need for a heightened appreciation of the work. . . . Kirkpatrick edges us, smoothly, into Dante&rsquo;s mind, and shows just how and why his influence has seemed to grow with the passage of time. We even get a map of trecento Italy (nestling against a map of hell). . . . If the Purgatorio and Paradiso are as good as this, then English readers will, I hope, start familiarising themselves with the two-thirds of the work most never get round to reading.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian&ldquo;Likely to be the best modern version of Dante . . .&#160;The perfect balance of tightness and colloquialism.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Bernard O&rsquo;Donoghue&ldquo;This version is the first to bring together poetry and scholarship in the very body of the translation&mdash;a deeply informed version of Dante that is also a pleasure to read.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;David Wallace, University of Pennsylvania
