What the fuck is going on in this thread.

>>16123881
They're okay for books originally written in English, though they usually don't have any sort of notes and are padded with retarded illustrations and photographs.
Anything translated, you'll be reading stuff in the public domain (i.e., from Project Gutenberg) so avoid those.

>Public domain bad
I'm not one of the fags who seethes at modern translations but public domain isn't an issue in and of itself. If you can understand it and enjoy it, then why not go for a Delphi omnibus?

>> No.16125194

Good derail, Varg.

>> No.16125331

>>16124891
There's nothing particularly wrong. Take Burton's translation of the Arabian Nights, which is in the public domain. Modern translations might be technically more accurate but they're not as soulful. The endnotes (almost reaching 10,000 of them) could be compiled into a great book all on its own.

But old translators were usually paid pennies for their work. They were not academically accountable for them. You often read how later translators question the validity of prior efforts, for their lack of knowledge in context or the translators not having a full grasp on the language. Some might be translations of translations. There are many expurgated translations from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, as well as some suffering from American prudishness. Missing revisions by the author himself, or missing addendum in later editions.

The worst part is Delphi doesn't care. They're absolutely terrible with bibliographical information, so you don't know who's translating, or from what edition. The omnibus are 20-30 MB and they can take a long time to load in Calibre or your ereader.
You can usually pirate newer translations so why pick a potentially (and likely) shitty translation when there are alternatives? Like I said, English writers are okay-ish if you don't care for introductions or footnotes.
