I did this too. It was such a slog, but I doubt any others are better. It's just a dragging book, besides most of the second volume

In the name of Dulcinea, what the fuck is your problem, you scum. Buy the Ormsby or the Rutherford translation, you dickhead.

>Not reading Grossman because you're some kind of alt-right dickhead
Ok.

>>9012253
It was literally FREE.

Someone had a mega link up, I enjoy the Grossman translation so far.

Grossman and Rutherford translations are more or less interchangeable, no? Both are pretty good modern interpretations; however, the one thing I don't enjoy about Grossman's is how Sancho Panza's ass is called a "dun."

I haven't read her translation fully but I was once told that the only real difference between Rutherford's translation and hers are the small nitpicks like the one I stated.

Let me know, senpai.

I did this too.
I ended up reading the gutenberg version.

Smollett is the best and the funniest.

Everyone knows Tom Lathrop is the best translator of Don Quixote

>>9012290
Was it good?

What is the closest Spanish to English translation of Don Quixote?

>>9012244
Even I'm loyal to the brand but I'm very particular in terms of translations.
I usually do a lot of research before buying classic books especially those which are translated from other language to English. I bought Tolstoy's work, the illiad and Odyssey, from Everyman' Library. It's my preferred brand for almost all classic English works.

Why they use this translation I don't know. Only one they can get to use?

>>9012244
It irks me to no end that Everyman's got shilled by the P&V hype team instead of curating their own selection of translations.
The covers are Russian lit perfection and their quality is top notch but fuck it all why P&V

Referring to Dostoevsky here. Probably should have mentioned that
