Why not at least do what Russian editions of Tolstoy novels do and footnote the text in a language other than the primary one?


Then again, I read an old translation of the book (1927) and I've seen others do that as well. Didn't bother me, since I'm multilingual, but it certainly can be a problem for others.


Green fat paperback? It was surprisingly interesting to read, so maybe it's a decent translation in other regards.


But it used the 1927 Knopf translation. Translation is fairly good.

I was thinking of the older Loeb Library translations, but Gibbon will work as well! Larry - 18/11/2011 10:35:46 PM 529 Views
