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 906 Views
There are two official book clubs. Rebekah - 13/02/2010 09:50:15 AM 660 Views
By which I mean to say that your order should stand. *NM* Rebekah - 13/02/2010 10:29:50 AM 281 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 591 Views
Absolutely. Rebekah - 13/02/2010 02:38:18 PM 558 Views
So are we a go for Doctor Zhivago for March 15? The Shrike - 13/02/2010 07:34:21 PM 556 Views
I suppose so! Tom - 14/02/2010 02:11:04 AM 565 Views
All righty. Gonna read that, then. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/02/2010 02:36:07 AM 275 Views
I might participate Larry - 14/02/2010 03:05:47 AM 576 Views
I was considering reading it, too. LiterateDog - 14/02/2010 10:37:14 PM 581 Views
Yeah, I know. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:26:45 PM 519 Views
Nope. LiterateDog - 14/02/2010 11:31:14 PM 553 Views
Oh well. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:35:02 PM 749 Views
Out of curiosity, why not the library? Ghavrel - 15/02/2010 06:33:07 AM 480 Views
It has nothing to do with buying it or not buying it. LiterateDog - 15/02/2010 07:49:01 AM 649 Views
My first week in Boston I met a crazy dude who walked into it. Ghavrel - 15/02/2010 09:37:27 AM 574 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 562 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 577 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 570 Views
Good thing that translation is the main one available in the US (the tradeback form) Larry - 14/02/2010 05:01:33 PM 551 Views
I do have the Spanish original of Cien Años Tom - 14/02/2010 08:39:36 PM 538 Views
Interesting. I have a Hayward/Harari translation nossy - 15/02/2010 04:38:36 PM 587 Views
I'm sure the publisher put it there. Tom - 15/02/2010 05:19:23 PM 489 Views
I have seen a lot of very irresponsible things said about this novel. Tom - 15/02/2010 06:08:27 PM 509 Views
I bet nossy - 16/02/2010 10:32:46 AM 707 Views
No, actually the plot in the movie and plot in the book are quite different. Tom - 16/02/2010 01:39:12 PM 564 Views
I think I'm just gonna read in Dutch - faster that way. Legolas - 14/02/2010 04:10:38 PM 519 Views
Hmmm. Since the majority are reading it in English, I suppose I should too. The Shrike - 14/02/2010 11:34:20 PM 574 Views
Regarding M&M Tom - 15/02/2010 02:22:14 AM 526 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 244 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 519 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 308 Views
I've ordered a copy of Doctor Zhivago Linda - 15/02/2010 03:18:06 PM 633 Views
I'm glad to hear that! Tom - 15/02/2010 07:46:34 PM 497 Views
Got one. nossy - 15/02/2010 04:09:48 PM 624 Views
I just noticed one glaring omission Larry - 15/02/2010 08:06:32 PM 800 Views
All of Nabokov's significant work was written in English while he was living abroad. Tom - 15/02/2010 10:37:20 PM 802 Views
Im not against Nabokov The Shrike - 16/02/2010 02:17:30 PM 514 Views
