I was reading Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus as translated by John E. Woods and enjoying myself, so I decided to buy copies of The Magic Mountain and Death in Venice. Since I didn't pay attention to who translated it, I ended up getting the Lowe-Porter editions. Today I went on JSTOR and this site and heard about how butchered they are. :eek2: Is it worth purchasing a copy of the Woods edition of TMM just to remedy this? And does anybody have any suggestions for DinV (Woods hasn't translated it yet)?
