Product Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890. Excerpt: ... THIRTY-SECOND EVENING. When I came to my senses I found myself in the same bed with Joseph, and it took me some time to recover full consciousness. When I did, I saw I was in Benoit's own room, that the bed was good, the sheets very white, and my arm bound up after a bleeding. The sun was shining through the yellow bed-curtains, and, except for a sense of weakness, I felt no ill. I turned to Joseph, who was a good deal cut about the head, but in no way to disfigure him, and who said, as he kissed me: "Well, my Tiennet, here we are, as in the old days, when we fought the boys of Verneuil on our way back from catechism, and were left lying together at the bottom of a ditch. You have protected me to your hurt, just as you did then, and I can never thank you as I ought; but you know, and I think you always knew, that my heart is not as churlish as my tongue." "I have always known it," I replied, returning his kiss, "and if I have again protected you I am very glad of it. But you must n't take too much for yourself. I had another motive--" Here I stopped, fearing I might give way and let out Therence's name; but just then a white hand drew back the curtain, and there I saw a vision of Therence herself, leaning towards me, while Mariton went round between the bed and the wall to kiss and question her son. Therence bent over me, as I said; and I, quite overcome and thinking I was dreaming, tried to rise and thank her for her visit and assure her I was out of danger, when there! like a sick fool and blushing like a girl, I received from her lips the finest kiss that ever recalled the dead. "What are you doing, Therence?" I cried, grasping her hands, which I could almost have eaten up. "Do you want to make me crazy?" "I want to thank you and love you all my life,"...

not the best translation
3 Mar 1998
Format:Paperback
For some time, I used this English translation in a course I teach in translation. It was never satisfactory, but for a long time it was the only one available. Now there is a new one, skillfully and thoughtfully translated by Rosemary Lloyd and published by Oxford. (Also offered by Amazon; check the list.) I would recommend this one over the Cassandra edition. David A. Powell
