There are so many... There's a brand new translation, only a few months old, by Edith Grossman. It has been very well received. For the uninitiated, a recent translation would be preferable to an ostensibly more staid, older translation. For an undertaking such as Quixote, you need all the help you can find. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060188707/qid=1090587699/sr=8 -2/ref=pd_ka_2/002-0042621-3624858?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 For a more established translation, try Cohen's. -----Original Message----- From: zorn-list-bounces+zsteiner=butler.edu@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:zorn-list-bounces+zsteiner=butler.edu@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of aaron chua Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 7:45 AM To: zorn list Subject: Summer/Winter Reading - Quixote? Hi guys, Am wondering when that annual thread of recent fave litritchure will again raise its head. As I myself have been to horribly behind in my own reading habits I am not in any position to kick this one off. But to give it a gentle nudge, can anyone on the list recommend a good English translation of Don Quixote by Cervantes? Much Obliged to One and All. +++ As a Zorn related aside...
