In a haunting, modern-gothic style, it pairs images of people walking alone in nighttime city streets with 90 different English translations, collected by Tonnard, of the famous first lines of Dante’s \u003ci\u003eInferno\u003c\/i\u003e: “Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita \/ mi ritrovai per una selva oscura \/ ché la diritta via era smarrita.” (“In the middle of the journey of our life \/ I found myself in a dark wood \/ for the straight way was lost”). The images were selected from the Joseph Selle collection at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York, which contains over a million negatives from a company of street photographers who worked in San Francisco from the 1940s to the 70s. This edition is a reprint of a work originally self-published in 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J L Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47036014952688,"sku":"9780989531108","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780989531108_p0.jpg?v=1763895197","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780989531108","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
