of San Giovanni, just as Dante was. At an early age, he left Italy and emigrated
to the U.S., but was raised in a northern Italian household, thus retaining his
knowledge of the Italian language. On the maternal line was a long line of artists
and artesans; his maternal grandfather was a well-known artist, musician and
maker of violins. From this line, Bruckman inherited a love of classical studies,
including classical mythology, history, literature, poetry and music. Bruckman
graduated from the U. of Illinois in 1974 with a Masters Degree in Mathematics.
His career as a pension actuary ended with his retirement in 2001, but he remains
active with various mathematical activities. Beginning around 1985, he began
to translate Dantes Divine Comedy, primarily as a labor of love. From the
beginning, Bruckman intended this work to be used as an accessible source
of Dantes monumental work for English-speaking students. Due to career
commitments, progress was slow at fi rst, but picked up pace after Bruckmans
retirement. The last lines of the translation of Paradiso were completed in 2010.
The entire translation is intended to be appropriate for a modern, quasi-scholarly
audience, and is enhanced by ample explanatory notes and supporting addenda.
Bruckman is married, has 7 children and 6 grandchildren.voir moins
