Here’s a dumb question I’d be grateful for anybody to answer. I’ve been wanting to pick up Goethe’s Faust but I don’t know which translation will give me the best sense of what Goethe’s own German prose while also being readable. Are there any translations that manage to do this?
what a wonderful conversation, thank you!
Thanks! I’m a fan of Andrew and was glad to record this
Hugely enjoyable conversation, have just ordered The Tortoise and the Hare from the library.
Oh good! Do lmk what you think!
Thank you both for a wonderful conversation. Enjoyed every bit of it. ✨
