Doesn't really matter

>>8409867
Would you read Shakespeare on spanish? Or any other language, for that matter?

>>8409883
If I could only read Spanish, then yes, I would.

>>8409883
So I should just buy it in Spanish with a spanish-english dictionary and dive on in?

>>8409948
Don't just buy a good translation, you can read it in Spanish later, you need to master the lenguage before going deep.

>>8409883
What a fucking moronic thing to say.

>>8409960
Well what's the best translation and what's the best way to learn Spanish?

>5 year minimum of preparation to read a book
>inb4 it doesn't take that long
it would take at LEAST that long to be on a level of understanding of the language to develop a sense of the nuance that is contained in said languages literature

>>8409983
that is a totally arbitrary number you're selecting.
If you read it once in English, read 1-2 other Spanish novels (2 years to be able to get a semi-comfortable level with reading), you should be fine going through it. Sure it'll take a fucking while at that level, but it's doable. There is really not a LOT of hidden nuance. It is infinitely readable but not because there are surreptitious tricks or anything like that.

>There is really not a LOT of hidden nuance.
if it's easy enough to grasp through a couple years of reading spanish then it's easy enough to survive a translation

>>8409867
Sadly if you are going to read it translated then it doesn't matter the quality because the beauty of it is the way it was written. It's so witty and close to earth about Spanish civilization at the time so yeah, if you are relaly interested then try and learn Spanish but I msut admit that it should be really hard to learn it to the point you fully understand XVI century Spanish.

>Understanding of language and culture is worse than a translators

Don't fall for the meme
