Don Quixote John Rutherford Pdf Writer
Like the editor of a text, a translator is creating a text as well. The translator must, of course, choose a text (or perhaps multiple versions of a text) in the original language. Given the heated debate over the text of Don Quixote during the last thirty years, and the lack of a general consensus about which of the several.

Why did this block occur?
A Court in Germany ordered that access to certain items in the Project Gutenberg collection are blocked from Germany. Project Gutenberg believes the Court has no jurisdiction over the matter, but until the issue is resolved, it will comply.

If your IP address lookup is incorrect
Use the Maxmind GeoIP demo to verify status of your IP address. Project Gutenberg updates its listing of IP addresses approximately monthly.
Occasionally, the website mis-applies a block from a previous visitor. Because blocks are applied momentarily, you should try again later to visit https://www.gutenberg.org if Maxmind shows your address as being outside of Germany.
If your IP address is shown by Maxmind to be outside of Germany and you were momentarily blocked, another issue is that some Web browsers erroneously cache the block. Trying a different Web browser might help. Or, clearing the history of your visits to the site.

Please email the diagnostic information above to (removing the spaces around the @) and we will try to help. The software we use sometimes flags 'false positives' -- that is, blocks that should not have occurred. Apologies if this happened, because human users outside of Germany who are making use of the eBooks or other site features should almost never be blocked.

Can anyone recommend the best translation of Don Quixote in English? Preferably with its strengths? I own the Burton Raffel translation, and know of those by Tobias Smollett, J. M. Cohen, Samuel Putnam, and Edith Grossman, all of which sound excellent. It's simply too long a list. :) I'd love to hear your suggestions. 2callmebalthazarFirst MessageI've read both the Tobias Smollett and Edith Grossman translations. Out of those two I would recommend the Edith Grossman version. Smollett's translation isn't bad, but it's more archaic and less elegant than Grossman's. A great book either way (the greatest, perhaps), but I think Grossman captures Cervantes most wonderfully. Ah, good. I'm glad to hear it. I've said this before on some other forum - the only way to know whether you'll like a translation is to actually browse/partly read it and compare it to others that you've browsed/partly read. Readability is often more important than accuracy because if you don't like what you're reading, its accuracy doesn't matter much. And to throw another name into the mix, John Rutherford's recent Penguin translation (I haven't read it however) has been highly acclaimed and, I think, received an award. To agree with the name Existanai contributed, I recently read and really enjoyed John Rutherford's translation. It was marvellous fun. The following article has some interesting information on the various translations of Don Quixote. http://www3.sympatico.ca/ian.g.mason/Don_Quixote.htm Not long ago I heard an interview with Edith Grossman about her new translation. I think it's available at: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/bookshow/stories/2010/2859837.htm Translations are a Godsend but they can be a real obstacle to enjoyment and true understanding of a work when they are done badly. I am fortunate to have the ability to read Spanish fairly well, although I don't speak or even write with the same proficiency. I have always wanted to read Don Quijote, because of its acclaim and because I love Spanish literature. The length especially intimidated me, and also the fact that it was written so long ago. I decided after reading and enjoying some other formidable classics, such as Little Dorrit, I would give Don Quijote a try. Not only am I reading it in English translation, I am reading it first in the original Spanish, which is quite a challenge. I am fluent enough to do it, with very little help. I read one chapter in Spanish, and follow it in English, not the reverse. I want to understand it in Spanish before reading someone else's interpretation. I find Ormsby to be a fairly accurate translator, but there are times that I feel he missed the mark. I also feel that when there is a choice of English words that would correspond to the Spanish, he seems to always choose the driest and dullest equivalents. I now have the Smollet translation which I will evaluate, but I want to have a look at Edith Grossman's version. I will try and give an update when I have a chance to read them. I am still in the process of reading the original. Conversely, in some cases the translation improves on the original.. >8 scornell1: I would love to know what more you've found, learned or thought about the various English translations that are available. I gather Smollett, Rutherford, Ormsby, Putnam and Grossman are the primary versions currently in circulation.
