Oh, I'm just surprised one word can be that important Stephen Send a noteboard - 29/11/2010 01:03:48 PM
Clearly we have too many linguists here:P


That's why I didn't even post in Spanish what happens immediately following the quote I provided from near the end of the book.

I will note that this book fulfills in spades the promises set forth in Blood of the Elves and that the next volume, Baptism of Fire, is even better. Will start writing that review after I finish with some translation work I have to turn in this evening.

Bizarre that you would go to a Spanish translation (A translation note) Tom - 27/11/2010 04:05:28 PM 906 Views
Not really, when that's the only complete translation available in a language I read Larry - 27/11/2010 06:54:18 PM 972 Views
It's an interesting discussion about that title... "disdain" is indeed somewhat weak. Legolas - 27/11/2010 06:35:14 PM 974 Views
When I have time later tonight, I'll translate the relevant passage near the end of the book Larry - 27/11/2010 06:57:23 PM 988 Views

The main reason why I lean toward "hatred" is later on Larry - 27/11/2010 09:43:43 PM 1012 Views
Yeah, there may be a slight difference between Czech and English meaning of the word wahooka - 28/11/2010 10:49:23 AM 982 Views
Makes sense to me Larry - 28/11/2010 07:13:08 PM 1077 Views
Now for that passage near the end of the book I said I'd post Larry - 28/11/2010 02:35:38 AM 981 Views
Hm. I'd actually say it makes me more inclined to think "contempt" is right after all. Legolas - 28/11/2010 10:50:09 AM 1056 Views
I didn't quote what happened immediately afterward, as that is a major spoiler Larry - 28/11/2010 07:16:39 PM 941 Views
Fair points. *NM* Legolas - 29/11/2010 12:26:28 AM 492 Views

I find it funny that all the discussion in the thread is about the best translation of the title. Stephen - 28/11/2010 10:17:44 PM 913 Views
Actually, it also plays a key role in the action of this book Larry - 29/11/2010 12:47:19 AM 1072 Views

Time of Contempt is closest to original meaning Ellestra - 28/11/2010 11:42:56 PM 1047 Views
Perhaps, but there's been a weakening of "contempt" in English over the past few generations Larry - 28/11/2010 11:55:16 PM 1043 Views

True, to a large extent at least Larry - 29/11/2010 04:57:00 AM 1302 Views
You made me want to go and reread this again Ellestra - 29/11/2010 12:07:46 AM 1043 Views

I refuse to give the Germans credit when it comes to language and grammar issues! Larry - 30/11/2010 03:04:30 AM 1228 Views
I don't see why; except maybe page long nouns Ellestra - 30/11/2010 04:22:37 PM 1264 Views
I dunno, some people dig saying "Machtübernahme" and "Größerdeutschland" Larry - 30/11/2010 05:53:43 PM 1081 Views
Hey those are short Ellestra - 01/12/2010 03:44:42 AM 1180 Views
