Good thing that translation is the main one available in the US (the tradeback form) Larry Send a noteboard - 14/02/2010 05:01:33 PM
Maybe in 3-4 years, I'll be able to read it in the original and judge for myself just how good it is, just like I've been able to do with the Rabassa translation of your favorite García Márquez book

So...what is the decision on the main book club? Tom - 13/02/2010 03:17:16 AM 842 Views
There are two official book clubs. Rebekah - 13/02/2010 09:50:15 AM 613 Views
By which I mean to say that your order should stand. *NM* Rebekah - 13/02/2010 10:29:50 AM 256 Views
We're happy with that...I was trying to make sure we didn't fracture things too much. Tom - 13/02/2010 02:29:15 PM 534 Views
Absolutely. Rebekah - 13/02/2010 02:38:18 PM 509 Views
So are we a go for Doctor Zhivago for March 15? The Shrike - 13/02/2010 07:34:21 PM 483 Views
I suppose so! Tom - 14/02/2010 02:11:04 AM 513 Views
All righty. Gonna read that, then. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/02/2010 02:36:07 AM 253 Views
I might participate Larry - 14/02/2010 03:05:47 AM 524 Views
I was considering reading it, too. LiterateDog - 14/02/2010 10:37:14 PM 532 Views
Yeah, I know. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:26:45 PM 472 Views
Nope. LiterateDog - 14/02/2010 11:31:14 PM 501 Views
Oh well. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:35:02 PM 700 Views
Out of curiosity, why not the library? Ghavrel - 15/02/2010 06:33:07 AM 434 Views
It has nothing to do with buying it or not buying it. LiterateDog - 15/02/2010 07:49:01 AM 595 Views
My first week in Boston I met a crazy dude who walked into it. Ghavrel - 15/02/2010 09:37:27 AM 523 Views
Are you guys going to recommend a particular translation of each book for us non-Russophones? Tim - 14/02/2010 01:27:24 PM 519 Views
Uh...I hadn't thought about that. I will try to find out which translations are better. Tom - 14/02/2010 03:08:08 PM 529 Views
That's why I thought it might be good to remind you that the rest of us will have to . *NM* Tim - 14/02/2010 03:37:21 PM 176 Views
I would recommend the Max Hayward/Manya Harari translation. Tom - 14/02/2010 04:55:05 PM 514 Views
Good thing that translation is the main one available in the US (the tradeback form) Larry - 14/02/2010 05:01:33 PM 503 Views
I do have the Spanish original of Cien Años Tom - 14/02/2010 08:39:36 PM 490 Views
Interesting. I have a Hayward/Harari translation nossy - 15/02/2010 04:38:36 PM 535 Views
I'm sure the publisher put it there. Tom - 15/02/2010 05:19:23 PM 441 Views
I have seen a lot of very irresponsible things said about this novel. Tom - 15/02/2010 06:08:27 PM 463 Views
I bet nossy - 16/02/2010 10:32:46 AM 660 Views
No, actually the plot in the movie and plot in the book are quite different. Tom - 16/02/2010 01:39:12 PM 516 Views
I think I'm just gonna read in Dutch - faster that way. Legolas - 14/02/2010 04:10:38 PM 471 Views
Hmmm. Since the majority are reading it in English, I suppose I should too. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:34:20 PM 528 Views
Regarding M&M Tom - 15/02/2010 02:22:14 AM 472 Views
Rebekah says there's a good reason for it to be in December. So I'll just go with the plan. *NM* Tim - 15/02/2010 08:48:04 AM 222 Views
Actually, I'm not sure what the reasoning would be, other than to space things out. Tom - 15/02/2010 07:00:29 PM 467 Views
Doesn't seem to be an Audible for Pasternak. *NM* AgentOrange - 14/02/2010 03:36:33 PM 344 Views
Maybe. I've never been interested in finding out what an Audible is. Tom - 14/02/2010 04:56:21 PM 422 Views
It's good. I've found an audio version. *NM* AgentOrange - 15/02/2010 12:35:53 PM 283 Views
I've ordered a copy of Doctor Zhivago Linda - 15/02/2010 03:18:06 PM 584 Views
I'm glad to hear that! Tom - 15/02/2010 07:46:34 PM 450 Views
Got one. nossy - 15/02/2010 04:09:48 PM 574 Views
I just noticed one glaring omission Larry - 15/02/2010 08:06:32 PM 751 Views
All of Nabokov's significant work was written in English while he was living abroad. Tom - 15/02/2010 10:37:20 PM 750 Views
Im not against Nabokov The Shrike - 16/02/2010 02:17:30 PM 462 Views
