Does /lit/ trust Penguin Classics translations of world literature? It's how I consume all of my classics and sometimes I get nervous about the quality of the work I'm reading.

That cover is from the very new line of penguin classics, I started seeing them in stores earlier this year. I don't own any so I can only speculate but I would guess there is a different in text size or in the introduction length or something.

This is the only image I could find that shows the differences, but note the title not being orange and the line between author and title in the far right one
