Book Reviews of Essays in Idleness
Book Review: My error with this purchase
Summary: 3 Stars
I originally studied this book in college and loved it, and bought it this time for a friend. My mistake was not checking who translated this edition, as it is quite different from mine. I prefer the translation by Donald Keene, as it is more whimsical and meant for everyone to understand.
