I think you mean translated titles that sound better than the original.

I know but it was cheap
>>
>>9334049
I didn't say I've read the translation, faggot. I just said the cover is better than the American one.

>>9334037
Why didn't you try to venture into the original? Just curious
>>
>>9334064
I've read both.

>>9334046

I kinda wanted to read Ulysses in his original language but my english isn't good enough

>>9334064
Actually the Italian translation is said to be better than the original. It simply just works better in Italian. Joyce should have been born in Florence.

Do you think going abroad would help?

He actually spent his life in Trieste and Rome

>>9334270
I don't know about that but Terrinoni's translation is said to be the best
>>
>>9334271

Nice joke but I asked because I have your same problem and I wonder if going abroad and speaking English for some time would help me to really appreciate the original. Or is it just a meme and we can only struggle through it with the dictionary at hand?
>>
>>9334056
Yeah those are like 5 euros, i have the same one

He's probably a fucking raccomandato if you know what I mean
>>
>>9334337
Not really a joke sadly. I mean, surely it would help your english, but if for example you go to London today you'll be listening to zadie Smith's language more than Joyce's
