Oh, I'm just surprised one word can be that important Stephen Send a noteboard - 29/11/2010 01:03:48 PM
Clearly we have too many linguists here:P


That's why I didn't even post in Spanish what happens immediately following the quote I provided from near the end of the book.

I will note that this book fulfills in spades the promises set forth in Blood of the Elves and that the next volume, Baptism of Fire, is even better. Will start writing that review after I finish with some translation work I have to turn in this evening.

Bizarre that you would go to a Spanish translation (A translation note) Tom - 27/11/2010 04:05:28 PM 776 Views
Not really, when that's the only complete translation available in a language I read Larry - 27/11/2010 06:54:18 PM 834 Views
It's an interesting discussion about that title... "disdain" is indeed somewhat weak. Legolas - 27/11/2010 06:35:14 PM 843 Views
When I have time later tonight, I'll translate the relevant passage near the end of the book Larry - 27/11/2010 06:57:23 PM 861 Views

The main reason why I lean toward "hatred" is later on Larry - 27/11/2010 09:43:43 PM 871 Views
Yeah, there may be a slight difference between Czech and English meaning of the word wahooka - 28/11/2010 10:49:23 AM 843 Views
Makes sense to me Larry - 28/11/2010 07:13:08 PM 905 Views
Now for that passage near the end of the book I said I'd post Larry - 28/11/2010 02:35:38 AM 836 Views
Hm. I'd actually say it makes me more inclined to think "contempt" is right after all. Legolas - 28/11/2010 10:50:09 AM 913 Views
I didn't quote what happened immediately afterward, as that is a major spoiler Larry - 28/11/2010 07:16:39 PM 799 Views
Fair points. *NM* Legolas - 29/11/2010 12:26:28 AM 434 Views

I find it funny that all the discussion in the thread is about the best translation of the title. Stephen - 28/11/2010 10:17:44 PM 783 Views
Actually, it also plays a key role in the action of this book Larry - 29/11/2010 12:47:19 AM 936 Views

Time of Contempt is closest to original meaning Ellestra - 28/11/2010 11:42:56 PM 898 Views
Perhaps, but there's been a weakening of "contempt" in English over the past few generations Larry - 28/11/2010 11:55:16 PM 930 Views

True, to a large extent at least Larry - 29/11/2010 04:57:00 AM 1156 Views
You made me want to go and reread this again Ellestra - 29/11/2010 12:07:46 AM 890 Views

I refuse to give the Germans credit when it comes to language and grammar issues! Larry - 30/11/2010 03:04:30 AM 1090 Views
I don't see why; except maybe page long nouns Ellestra - 30/11/2010 04:22:37 PM 1124 Views
I dunno, some people dig saying "Machtübernahme" and "Größerdeutschland" Larry - 30/11/2010 05:53:43 PM 943 Views
Hey those are short Ellestra - 01/12/2010 03:44:42 AM 971 Views
