anyways, I think Augustines Confessions is okay in the penguin edition

>>9287515
I thought it was a great cover until I noticed the ball behind the boy's arm. Kinda ruined it after I saw that

>"Do you understand the horrible cynicism of this symbol of a woman's foot, the provocation of her licentious walk on such elaborate heels?"

>>9287385
What did he mean by this?

Are you guys just picking by the covers, or do most of these have extensive notes or something? Please acknowledge in your postings.

>>9288844
Is this true? I was gonna cop the Everyman edition.

>>9287540
Is that bitch actually putting a foot on that guy's face?

>>9289554
Nah the Everyman version is superior. Quality spine and the overall design is excellent.

Regarding the Pessoa one, the novel is unfinished and the Penguin edition offers the most comprehensive read with it's inclusion of notes & writings assembled by a Pessoa expert. Regarding the Schulz one, it has other writings included. Don't know about the other ones

>>9289009
that's not futura.

>>9289500
I picked it because that's what amazon shipped me.

Is the Penguin edition of A Rebours by Huysmans translated by Robert Baldick the best translation? Or do y'all prefer the Mauldon translation?

>>9289562
that's hot af

>>9289485
Penguin Joseph Conrad novels have great paintings that make them unique as opposed to some jungle or another as could have been for Heart of Darkness

>>9289554
The translation by Screech is the standard. It also does something that the Everyman edition doesn't: Screech keeps the quotations from other languages that Montaigne uses as they are, but translates them below, whereas the Everyman translates them without leaving the original. Screech also has a good introduction and good notes. Granted, the volume itself is rather thick and difficult to handle, but you can always have it rebounded in hardback (I don't think it is that expensive nowadays).

If you notice, the only thing the other Anon could point out it the quality of the book as object and not the translation or notes/introduction. That should tell you something about the Everyman edition.

This and Byron's Selected Poems are better than the Oxford World's Classics edition of Byron's Major Works.

>>9287480
The Sean Kernan ones, or the Escher ones?

>>9287383
I really wish they would release a richard zenith translation hardcover. I have two copies of the hardcover from that other guy, but desu I like the modernity of richard zenith.
