What? This one is horrible. Love Don Quixote though

What's so great about the Grossman translation, anyway? I've heard Putnam is better.

Have you tried both? Grossman's just flows so fucking well. It's translated in a way that keeps the humor and anxiety fresh, in my opinion

putnam's is gross, man
trust bloom

Is Putnam that bad? Local second hand book store has a Putnam I was thinking of getting tomorrow. Pls halp me decide before tomorrow

in all serious it seems fine from what i've read of it

I quite like this cover of it, based on the great escapade in Part 2 where the Don mounts a wooden horse and demonstrates the meaning of mind over matter. Plus if we must be truthful the amount of worthy books that will receive 400th anniversary commemorative editions in our lifetime can be counted on one finger

I generally like the Penguin covers. They're so uniform looking.

>400th anniversary commemorative edition

That alone is enough to make me like it

This can't be real

It's easy to read

Tbh I prefer the Ormsby translation. It's free on project gutenberg, give it a go.

Fucking hideous. You cannot physically see out of that piece of shit unless you have eyeballs for nostrils, and the visor is constructed from cheap aluminium and full of enormous holes
Just compare with this helmet

How does Rutherford compare to other translations? I've only read Don Quixote once, but his translation was enjoyable

I don't think it qualifies as real, it's only an ebook.

Wasn't his helmet supposed to be a piece of shit

What's the best hardcover edition of Ormsby's translation

where can I get this in print? the ormsby transaltion seems like the best one from the research i've done

Who here likes the Smollett translation? Yeah it's old but his style fits.

it was a shaving basin
