still waiting on it in the mail

This guy is way up Stirner's ass.

sampled it, meh, the translation isn't different enough from the cambridge version to bother reading the whole shit again

on the topic of new translations tho, i do have a copy of the new tim parks translation of machiavelli coming in the mail tomorrow, based amazon with the sunday deliveries, shit is supposed to retain the conversation/conspiratorial feel of the original rather than the asspained feel of the crusty old public domain trannies

>The first English translation of Stirner's book appeared in print under the title The Ego and His Own in 1907. It was the work of Steven T. Byington, an individualist anarchist involved with the circles around Benjamin Tucker. Tucker funded the project (and published the result). He insisted on the use of"ego" in the title, even though it is not at all an accurate translation of "Einzige." Byington
was very skilled with languages and worked most of his life as a translator and proof reader. So it isn't a surprise that Tucker would turn to him to translate Stirner's work. But there are some reasons to question whether Byington was the best choice.

>Though he was an individualist anarchist, he was also a Christian–not a fundamentalist, obviously, but an active member ofthe Ballard Vale Congregationalist Church (now the Ballard Vale United Church) in Andover, Massachusetts and its clerk for thirty-two years. He made a life-long project of translating the Bible into modern English under the name of The Bible in Living English. Could a good Christian translate a work like Stirner's without twisting the basic meaning? I have my doubts.

he's way up his own ass

>I have given the most significant answer to this question already, but obviously if I were doing this only for myself, I wouldn't get it published. However much I may enjoy playing with myself, I always find an added
pleasure when I play with others. This is why I want to toss my translation out to certain others to make the game more exciting, but not just to anyone.

>I know some academics will make use of it for their own purposes in any case, and to the extent that they are doing this for their own enjoyment,
I would expect nothing less. In turn, some of them may provide me with fodder for furthering my own egoistic purposes.
