It's great, so far. The foreword exposed me to the idea that one should look out for the little things he reveals about his personality and his past through the text, which is rather difficult to find, but whatever scraps that exist are like nuggets of gold for me, because they tend to say the most profound things about him. It is like reading an enthralling autobiography about someone's life and times, where they try to avoid talking about *themselves,* but about what they have done.

There are some publishers who usually have better translations but for something that important you shouldn't blindly trust anyone. Forget about publishers, do you own research on top tier translations then using amazon's look inside compare the top ones and find which one has the style you like best (keeping in mind who maintains the most faithful translation and who injects their wack shit). Once you've picked a translation, then pick whichever book looks prettiest and carries that one, oftentimes you don't have much choice.

[Anonymous No.6482075]

>>6482064
usually, because it has withstood the test of time, and the classic translations were usually written by geniuses, since those are the ones that influenced all these modern translators. Sure the modern ones might have a little more insight than before, shoulders of giants and all that, but the geniuses have the better style and the better understanding of the gestalt. Also, there's a trend among modern translators of injecting modern language into their translations, whereas the old guard was a lot more reverent of the original text.

I personally hate Ride the Tiger so far. Maybe I'm too cynic and project too much, but I see it as a work of defeatism.
I enjoy "revolt against the modern world" far more. Reading it atm.

I never found philosophy very effective at combating depression... maybe some good ol' Nietzsche might do the trick, but not really.

In a way I hate literature that is meant to be uplifting for the sake of uplifting someone. it's usually lighter on analysis and reads too much like a self-help book, which I despise.

I read that edition of Ulysses and have to agree, the book has an overall nice feel to it, and the font fits the text in a way. Just don't turn it over and read the excerpt on the back, it spoils the final lines (like another edition I saw but on the front cover)

I have the "spoiler cover". I don't know why they did it, but by the time you get to the end after all that you've been through it doesn't do any harm to know them. Yeah, they're probably the best final lines to anything ever written, but they're largely meaningless without context.

Who publishes that Ulysses? I don't think it's available here in the UK.

I think Vintage. I could be wrong, tho.

[Anonymous No.6485331]

>>6485310
I agree, I just thought it was tacky that they did it but I didn't feel wronged over it, especially since the book is full of lines that jump out at you, and you're in the homestretch of such a dense book.

I'm looking at it and can confirm it's Vintage. I got it at a B&N.

Here in the UK Vintage Classics only use those ugly red spines and have terrible quality paper and printing. Pic related is the UK version of Ulysses.

At least it doesn't have the black marker graphic on the cover imo.

Nice haul.

Just pace yourself though. You can easily get burnt out on reading that kind of thing too often.

My 30 pesos (~2 dlls) Castalia edition of the complete Garcilaso de la Vega looks kind of the same. I agree, it looks lovely, but I hope you didn't pay a lot for it.

Charity. Gym membership. Prostitutes. Clothes. Beer. More beer.

That's what I spend mine on. If you enjoy them go for it.

I like this one a lot. Which ones do you donate to?

>Gym
I've got enough to workout with around me

>Prostitutes
All I know of is eros escorts.

>Clothes
Something I've been holding back on. I need to redo my closet.
Good call.

>Beer
I could use some more hard drinks. Beer.. not so much

I'm in the UK so charities may vary but I give to the Salvation Army because of the work they do for the homeless and the RSPCA.

Get some clothes, son. Uniqlo is a good place to start. Cheap clothes made surprisingly well for the price.

There seems to be plenty of charities to donate to on the internet. I'll have to weave through the ones that seem sketchy.

>Uniqlo
This place looks pretty sweet. That should turn my style around

>usually, because it has withstood the test of time
Saying this while discussing old vs modern should be considered a banneable offense.

[Anonymous No.6486528]

I believe there are sites for checking if a charity is legit or not. Look up the charity number and it should tell you if it's real.

Uniqlo is really good but some of their note seasonal items sell out really quickly so if you want something like a flannel shirt the good ones sell out in a day or two whereas the bad ones are there all year.

It's addictive though because if you're not careful you can end up with a Bart Simpson style wardrobe where everything is identical.
