For all the /lit/izens that speak spanish. I wanted to ask if

So let me get this straight, you're looking towards the minority of people here who happen to speak Spanish
Who also happen to also speak English
Who also happen to have read Hemingway
Who also happened to have read his translation into Spanish

Just get a fucking English copy mate

>>8491769
I literally just finished reading this, but in English...
if you wanna talk about the book in general, I would appreciate it....

>>8491797
well, I didn't read the book already, but you could send me some info contact if you wanna talk about the book once I get it and finish it.

>>8491782
No, mate. There's a minority of people here that speak spanish, sure, but enough to ask a question about translations. I'm just trying to get to someone who read the book in spanish. I don't know if you talk more than one language, but in that case, I could read any translation for 10 pages and know it's a shit translation. My example of catcher in the rye, and the reason of why I'm reading things in english, is because a lot of this translations (especially the ones that come from Spain) are really shitty, especially in the case of modern literature, where's theres a lot of slang in it. So stop being edgy and contribute or just go shit into a thread you could have at least a valid opinion.

Hemingway is one of the most prosaic stylists in the history of literature. He is so boring that you could translate him into any language and not lose anything. Most educated people speak in more complex sentences than Hemingway wrote.

No he leído particularmente Adiós a las armas, pero si Fiesta, y la traducción no estaba mal. Aunque no la comparé con el original. Sinceramente opino que no leas a Hemingway, es american-greats meme tier.

>>8491769
Poder leer una obra en su idioma original y leer una traducción por ahorrar un poco de dinero es retardado.

OP acá. Puedo decirte que realmente tenes razón, es una ventaja que no debería ser pérdida por el hecho de ahorrar unos pesos. Gracias anon.

So what happens when you read For Whom the Bell Tolls, where Hem tried to imitate the way poor people spoke Spanish?

All that stuff about "I obscenity in the milk of your mother"

Argentina, anon?

I've read The Old Man in both English and Norwegian. It's way better in English.

si mi negro.

Leer Hemingway en español cuando lo podés leer en Inglés es como leer Borges en Inglés cuando lo podrías estar leyendo en español.

Excepto porque Borges es genial y Hemingway mediocre
