Summary: 1 Stars
Do not buy the edition with no publishers mark and the Flemish style portrait in black on the cover! I started reading the Penguin edition but lost it and bought this to replace it. This translation is unreadable and nowhere near the beauty of the latter, so much so that I started over thinking it was a different book. Translation is an art not something to monkey with in your basement then self publish through an internet publisher. Please remove this edition from Amazon.
