I am currently reading the Verso edition and it's pleasant enough, although the translator's introductory essay was an absolute horror show; I was forced to pray to God for strength several times before I managed to finish it.

There is literally only one at this stage however if you are willing to wait another 1-2 years there might be a new and better one

Which one is that? Ony one translation or one good one?
>>
>>8501516
Only one translation in English - the Byington one which has some bad translation choices but nothing that ruins or obscures the text all that much.

Curious, on Amazon the Oxford print sells for like $50. I can't understand the drastic price increase compared to other copies. Perhaps it is used as a textbook?
>>
>>8501552
Perhaps its introductory essay is different or that simply they charge a premium compared to other versions due to their prestige.

>Perhaps it is used as a textbook?
Possibly but very unlikely given how obscure he is.

Also all his works are online for free should you want to try before you buy

I have a pdf version, but i hate reading digitally. That being said I haven't tried "e-ink" yet. Eitherway, thanks for your input.
