Don Quixote John Rutherford Pdf
In my third year of high school Spanish, we had to read Don Quixote in the original Spanish. As language is not my forte, I had to translate everything back into English because I think in English, if that makes any sense. Many an agonizing night spent with the Spanish-English dictionary. Even after all that, I could not tell you anything about the novel. My translation was so bad as to not even make any sense to the translator (myself.) I was so traumatized (figuratively speaking) I have never re-visited Quixote.
So ANY of the translations HAVE to be better than mine. That being said, I have heard that Raffell's version is the closest to what Cervantes was attempting to express. However, I have not been able to find that readily and have opted for the Grossman version. I will absolutely NOT be using any dictionaries! Niles, I had the same experience. I tried to read it in Spanish class in High School and didn't make it very far and that's put me off reading it ever since.I'm not sure which translation I'll read.I grabbed the free edition off Amazon which appears to be translated by John Ormsby.
I'll give that one a shot and if it doesn't work out, I'll try a more contemporary translation.I was going to read the free John Ormsby translation, but it shows only 400 pages! Granted, the print edition it's based off of appears to have minuscule font, but 400 is low enough that I still suspect it might be partially abridged. From what I've read and to elucidate my findings,Jarvis translation(old but readable)Ormsby's translation is archaic(the prose) also it is the most easily available translation on the internet and is considered closest to the original but dull;Putnam, Raffel and Walter Starkie have derived their translation partly from Ormsby.(Out of the equation)Smollett and Grossman manage to bring out the humour quotient of the books successfully. Rutherford being one of the modern translators does justice to the gist of Don Quixote.Assessing all, Grossman seems the most preferable translation closely followed by Rutherford and Smollett.Frankly Speaking, one just needs to use the 'look inside' feature of Amazon and suitably choose if being frustrated by disparate opinions.I am going with Smollett, (I trust Salman Rushdie);). Smollett translation dates back to the 18th century. Among the modern translators Grossman seems the obvious choice but I had already taken the decision of decorating my classics shelf with the Smollett modern library edition which came cheaper than the Grossman edition.(2 months back!) I guess I'll have to stick with that.Pink, if you are considering to utilize your credits on Audible I don't think you can go wrong with the Ormsby narration since it is considered closest to the original and the modern translations(Grossman and Rutherford) have based their work on Ormsby's text and it already sounds better to you.:). ModBob, I have no idea.
I've googled the Ormsby edition and as far as I can tell it isn't shorter than the rest. Could it be so short simply due to layout, I'm not sure.
Amazon reviews have complained about editing problems but no mention of it being abridged, though unless you've read another version how would you know. If it were me I'd approach the free kindle edition with caution.Oh and there is another paper edition on Amazon that states it's 400 pages and unabridged, but again I don't see how. I just downloaded the Arvid Paulson translation that was free on the internet.
I listened to the Grossman version but found it a little too wordy. And I wonder about how it is different from this older version. For instance is the word 'Saint Bartholomew' or just 'Bartholomew' in the kindle version you all have.

I don't really have to tell you what that is about but wish you all would look if you have a searchable version.Grossman i think uses the term 'mule driver' but a 'carrier' is the term that Paulson uses, which to me means commerce.less emphasis on the animals. Is there another term another translator using for this.So i may listen to Grossman and read Paulson's version and enjoy comparing them.Ormsby sounds like a tempting deal as well.Edit just realized that Paulson is an abridged version. Not bad but may explain why it is not as wordy.
