Book Reviews of Ten Nights' Dreams
Book Review: Breif, poetic stories
Summary: 4 Stars
The stories in this book are fantastic, poetic and abstract. The translation reads very smoothly, and retains a depth that many translation do not. (translations of other books, I have not read any other translation of this)
It is unfortunate that the publisher was so careless when putting this book together, ugly pictures are placed haphazardly on the pages, sometimes cutting off sections of words. These pictures do not convey the feelings of the stories. They act as examples of words the reader may be unfamiliar with, but this is not a dictionary! If the publisher thought they were so necessary, they should have been placed at the back in some kind of glossary, or at least chosen taseful photos and arranged them with an eye for layout.
Still, I highly recommend this book, and according to the other reviews this translation is superior to the others. Maybe someday a publisher will put this translation into a more elegant package.
