Customer Reviews
Penguin Classics, next time commission a translator who speaks English.
For a start, the Penguin edition has fewer chapters - it starts further into the story than the Oxford edition. Therefore I was missing a chunk of the story.
Far more distressing were all the Americanisms. OK if you're American, but I'm not am I? After one chapter I'd thrown this book under the settee and gone out and bought the Oxford Classic edition, £1 cheaper and translated into the Queen's English, thank you very much.
It's really made me steer clear of Penguin translations since.
