I just picked this book up at a used bookstore yesterday. I'm interested to hear what your thoughts on it are.
I'm reading the Steegmuller translation from 1957. The book was written in 1897, and I find the translation a little odd becuase he uses phrases that weren't used in 1897. (Spitballs, cramming in lieu of studying, etc.) It kind of bugs me because it doesn't feel like the original piece, it FEELS translated. Has anyone else had this feeling with this particular book or any other book that was translated?
I read Story of O, which was translated from French also, and I definetely didn't get this feeling.
Any thoughts??
