What is the best, most /lit/ Don Quixote translation?
I am currently about 130 pages through the 1700 P.A. Motteux Translation (Everyman’s Library) and I am starting to think it’s complete shit and I should find a different one. It’s hard to follow not just because it uses antiquated English but also it just doesn’t feel...Spanish.
I am aware of the Grossman translation but it’s really modern and I would like to find a nice middle ground between readability and period authenticity if that makes sense.
any advice friends?
