On balance, I'm glad I read the Steegmuller translation when I read the novel. Tom Send a noteboard - 20/11/2010 05:14:42 PM
If only I could find a French edition in hardcover that doesn't cost over $100...the "folio classique" version just makes me want to put it down because it's so flimsy...quel dommage!
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

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Julian Barnes on translation Camilla - 18/11/2010 05:49:37 PM 951 Views
That's a very interesting article. Though it does sound like he'd never be happy. Legolas - 18/11/2010 08:06:09 PM 624 Views
That was a long article. Rebekah - 19/11/2010 07:05:12 PM 544 Views

Yeah, I think English translations on average are better than those in smaller languages. Legolas - 19/11/2010 10:16:44 PM 644 Views
Wow Camilla - 20/11/2010 10:45:08 AM 687 Views

Vas-tu faire s’enculée, Camille! Tom - 20/11/2010 05:26:08 PM 569 Views
If you don't mind a few grammatical corrections of your swearing... Legolas - 20/11/2010 05:42:57 PM 578 Views
It was a quick and dirty rendering Tom - 20/11/2010 05:53:13 PM 518 Views
Apparently so, with the use of "enculer" Larry - 20/11/2010 07:12:24 PM 534 Views
Actually, yes, it is The Temptation of St. Anthony Tom - 20/11/2010 08:43:08 PM 602 Views
And I didn't order from France. It's a US-based company that I bought it from. *NM* Tom - 20/11/2010 05:54:55 PM 222 Views
Oh, that'd cut down on delivery costs a fair bit, then. *NM* Legolas - 20/11/2010 06:01:46 PM 229 Views
Yes, it did. Tom - 20/11/2010 08:45:13 PM 492 Views
I love Pleiade editions Camilla - 21/11/2010 12:14:14 AM 508 Views
How tall are they, out of curiosity? Tom - 21/11/2010 12:50:57 AM 652 Views
Not tall Camilla - 21/11/2010 09:59:55 AM 522 Views
I got my books today. Tom - 23/11/2010 05:38:20 AM 735 Views

Regardless, if Pleiade is the best France has to offer, their book industry is awful. Tom - 23/11/2010 07:17:13 PM 790 Views
Let me guess... Larry - 23/11/2010 07:46:41 PM 502 Views
No. I don't think he's been released in a Pleiade edition. Tom - 23/11/2010 07:49:05 PM 524 Views
Re: Oh Authorial intent. Gaps - 21/11/2010 02:07:27 AM 632 Views
Like hell it's about authorial intent. Tom - 21/11/2010 05:40:22 AM 568 Views
Re: I didn't even read it, I guessed based on the author's initials. Gaps - 21/11/2010 01:37:40 PM 754 Views
So I take it you missed the whole part about Nabokov's translation of Eugene Onegin. Tom - 21/11/2010 03:28:14 PM 510 Views
Re: Yes, I missed all of that. Such a conclusion clearly follows from my previous response. *NM* Gaps - 21/11/2010 03:57:16 PM 313 Views
Actually it does. Your responses are just cheap tricks, not discussions. *NM* Tom - 21/11/2010 04:44:21 PM 231 Views
Re: Cheap tricks? Gaps - 21/11/2010 10:45:39 PM 603 Views
Barnes' article has little to do with authorial intent Larry - 21/11/2010 11:37:25 PM 546 Views
Why didn't you translate je ne sais quoi? Tom - 21/11/2010 11:46:23 PM 599 Views
Because I didn't feel like it? Larry - 22/11/2010 01:14:31 AM 573 Views
Well, I think you started the snarky replies. Tom - 21/11/2010 11:42:33 PM 519 Views
I think it is more about the "authentic experience" than about intent. Camilla - 21/11/2010 10:01:57 AM 542 Views
