good translation choices

I am no expert, but I do appreciate how difficult it is to translate Spanish literature from this period for a modern English-speaking audience, and I thought this edition was good. The notes complement the tranlation to give you a real flavor, and it is easy to see why these plays are classics.

Yen Press has been hit and miss over the years, their translations ranging in quality from amazing to Google Translate-tier.  I'm happy to say Overlord's translation was very readable with only a few questionable translation choices and deviations from the source material (maybe four or five instances in total across the entire book).

This little book is a wonderful collection of short passages re-iterated from Buddhist sutras.  I am now on my third reading through in short moments available here and there.  It's that kind of book.  I recently gave it as a gift to a non-Buddhist friend, and I'm sure he will like it.  The translations are not so much exacting as they are flowing and easily readable.  It's on that basis as a well-selected guide to those looking for a basic introduction, and not something more precise and challenging that I give it 5 stars.

Potential readers should understand that these passages are not the same as reading the direct sutra translations and knowledgeable commentaries, nor were they meant to be.  However, I would not call it shallow (as so many short sayings popping up at various internet locales).  Most texts written for Buddhists delve into greater depths and tend to be copiously footnoted for good reason.  This is the easy-read version, and of several similar, short passage "Buddha books", I have preferred this one.

I'm not sure about some of the translations in this book, but it is fun to read.  My son enjoys it and will sometimes ask for it over and over.

This book was a gift for my wife's birthday.  While being aware of a movie with this title she wasn't able for years to locate a copy of the book translated to the English until I searched Amazon.com.

We were both surprised to find TWO different translations available on Amazon's web site.  Being able to view excerpts of each version on-line helped us choose the best translation for our needs.

Amazon.com will be the first place we look from this experience on.

I have this brand in French and German, so got it in Italian also. For me, the best thing is that you can look back and forth from English to Italian and get a pretty full picture of how a word is used. And the many variants, i.e., "last", "last year", "last but one", "last night" have saved me many a time when I get stuck in my reading.

It is good to read the preface for each reading, but I found that the NLT is not my favorite version of translation,
It helps to get the background on what is going on and why Jesus is telling us/his disciples certain things.

The New Living Translation is a very readable English version of the Bible. The original wording is often noted, which helps.  The more translations the better the understanding of the Bible.  Of course reading it in the original languages of Hebrew and Greek is optimum, but I don't have time to learn those languages right now, so this adds to my collection of English translations and helps to get a better meaning from the texts.

No pun intended, but "Good Book." Easier to understand things when you can read the stories in the order in which they and history happened. Good translation, great concept.

Nicely constructed book that looks like it will hold up well. I took away one star because some of the translations were off.

A very good book.  The translations were sometimes a bit awkward but one could say that added to the charm.

A very good version of the I Ching. Good to have as a companion book for the more traditional Blofeld translation. Comparing the texts of the two versions often helps make the message clearer - the direct-from-old-Chinese Blofeld translation can be rather enigmatic (even with Blofeld's copious footnotes), something that the warmly human and more practically helpful readings in the Walker version help clarify. Walker deals much less with the picturesque imagery used in the original I Ching, but his more explicit interpretations often make sense of these images, rendering them more memorably symbolic.

My goto translation when reading/studying with folks whose second language is English. Way better than they old Good News Translation (which I always felt was more like a paraphrase).

Use this book for a class! Excellent translation

What I like about this translation is that each passage is presented in its original format, then in English as a direct translation, then accompanied by the translators discussion. I find this useful in isolating subjective opinions from the translation.

Very good reference to the English translation of :Face of love"
Thanks you for keeping the same page order.
It is always very helpful to check the translation with the original piece.

So far so good. I like that this translation seems less old fashioned than some others. Pevear and Volokhonsky have a mixed reputation--such is the difficulty with putting someone else's words into your own. If everyone wants to know exactly what Tolstoy or Dumas is really like, the best course would be to read them in the original language! However, I do still believe translation matters; what I have found is that in the case of these translators they tend to retain more of the author's intentions. I have been told by Russian readers that Dostoevsky could sometimes read as difficult and confusing in Russian but also more exciting; most popular English translations from the early 20th century tend to even out the dynamics of the text, making it read closer to Jane Austen's voice than you might be comfortable with. Imagine Pulp Fiction, or The Matrix, or Hitchcock (something adventurous ) remade using the most staid and edible film conventions...so much of what makes those stories special would be lost.

As far as I understand, this edition retains much of the  Dumasness in English and in the process is a great read! A classic like this could be butchered to death by tasteless fools and still hold onto some worth so, since the translation is clean and interesting, the material is elevated. Whatever your preference, this version certainly warrants a place in the market and quite possibly your bookshelf.
