Translations and the Book Trade
This is a public service announcement. Well put, William. Kazantzakis’s early translations in English are delectable, especially Christ Recrucified; apologies to the translator, I don’t recall his name.
Thank you for the comment, Michalis! I have to say I also like the Keeley/Sherrard translation of Cavafy.
Good morning William, it's about time I read The Odyssey, which translation would you recommend?
I quite like the Robert Fagles version -- and it comes with a helpful introduction from Bernard Knox!
thank you, that's my big summer read sorted out.
Let me know what you think of it!
