Gabriele Tinti’s Hungry Ghosts is a cycle of 51 poems written in collaboration with the photographer Roger Ballen, whose photographic negatives are reproduced in the book. The images are mostly terrifying, in keeping with the otherworldly inclination of the poems. This bilingual edition includes Tinti’s original Italian poems with English translations by David Graham, interspersed with Greek lines taken from inscriptions found on archaeological objects and from ancient Greek texts.

The book is inspired by the Petavatthu, a Theravada Buddhist scripture that includes stories about the realm of the “hungry ghosts,” a category of supernatural beings ubiquitous in East and South Asian religions, with section headings such as “Abandoned Ghosts,” “Protectors,” “Guardians,” and “Hungry Ghosts.” The poems a requites hort and try to emulate the obscure, esoteric quality of scriptural language, though they struggle, at times, under the weight of too many venerable references drawn from both Buddhist and Greek traditions.

Comentário do professor

Comentário: A afirmação está correta porque a palavra "though" realmente introduz uma cláusula concessiva, que expressa uma ideia que contrasta com a anterior. No contexto da frase, "though" indica que, apesar dos poemas tentarem emular uma qualidade obscura e esotérica, eles enfrentam dificuldades devido ao excesso de referências veneráveis. Essa estrutura é típica de concessões, onde uma ideia é apresentada em oposição à outra, sinalizando uma nuance ou limitação na afirmação inicial.
