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 904 Views
There are two official book clubs. Rebekah - 13/02/2010 09:50:15 AM 658 Views
By which I mean to say that your order should stand. *NM* Rebekah - 13/02/2010 10:29:50 AM 280 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 590 Views
Absolutely. Rebekah - 13/02/2010 02:38:18 PM 556 Views
So are we a go for Doctor Zhivago for March 15? The Shrike - 13/02/2010 07:34:21 PM 554 Views
I suppose so! Tom - 14/02/2010 02:11:04 AM 564 Views
All righty. Gonna read that, then. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/02/2010 02:36:07 AM 274 Views
I might participate Larry - 14/02/2010 03:05:47 AM 575 Views
I was considering reading it, too. LiterateDog - 14/02/2010 10:37:14 PM 577 Views
Yeah, I know. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:26:45 PM 516 Views
Nope. LiterateDog - 14/02/2010 11:31:14 PM 550 Views
Oh well. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:35:02 PM 748 Views
Out of curiosity, why not the library? Ghavrel - 15/02/2010 06:33:07 AM 479 Views
It has nothing to do with buying it or not buying it. LiterateDog - 15/02/2010 07:49:01 AM 648 Views
My first week in Boston I met a crazy dude who walked into it. Ghavrel - 15/02/2010 09:37:27 AM 573 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 561 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 576 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 193 Views
I would recommend the Max Hayward/Manya Harari translation. Tom - 14/02/2010 04:55:05 PM 568 Views
Good thing that translation is the main one available in the US (the tradeback form) Larry - 14/02/2010 05:01:33 PM 550 Views
I do have the Spanish original of Cien Años Tom - 14/02/2010 08:39:36 PM 534 Views
Interesting. I have a Hayward/Harari translation nossy - 15/02/2010 04:38:36 PM 586 Views
I'm sure the publisher put it there. Tom - 15/02/2010 05:19:23 PM 488 Views
I have seen a lot of very irresponsible things said about this novel. Tom - 15/02/2010 06:08:27 PM 508 Views
I bet nossy - 16/02/2010 10:32:46 AM 706 Views
No, actually the plot in the movie and plot in the book are quite different. Tom - 16/02/2010 01:39:12 PM 563 Views
I think I'm just gonna read in Dutch - faster that way. Legolas - 14/02/2010 04:10:38 PM 518 Views
Hmmm. Since the majority are reading it in English, I suppose I should too. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:34:20 PM 573 Views
Regarding M&M Tom - 15/02/2010 02:22:14 AM 520 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 243 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 518 Views
Doesn't seem to be an Audible for Pasternak. *NM* AgentOrange - 14/02/2010 03:36:33 PM 377 Views
Maybe. I've never been interested in finding out what an Audible is. Tom - 14/02/2010 04:56:21 PM 473 Views
It's good. I've found an audio version. *NM* AgentOrange - 15/02/2010 12:35:53 PM 307 Views
I've ordered a copy of Doctor Zhivago Linda - 15/02/2010 03:18:06 PM 632 Views
I'm glad to hear that! Tom - 15/02/2010 07:46:34 PM 496 Views
Got one. nossy - 15/02/2010 04:09:48 PM 623 Views
I just noticed one glaring omission Larry - 15/02/2010 08:06:32 PM 799 Views
All of Nabokov's significant work was written in English while he was living abroad. Tom - 15/02/2010 10:37:20 PM 801 Views
