I read it in English. Tom Send a noteboard - 11/09/2009 08:43:09 PM
There are quite a lot of books where I don't think that much is lost in translation. Granted, I could tell that some word-play was involved in a few places, but it wasn't, ultimately, poetry.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Yeah, definitely, I don't imagine it's easy Italian. Legolas - 12/09/2009 10:53:03 AM 483 Views

It would be more fair to compare Chaucer to Boccaccio, but sadly that's not how things have gone. Joel - 14/09/2009 08:40:33 AM 520 Views
