BookJumper Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I need an English copy of Luis Borges - most importantly of The Aleph and Other Stories, although I am a completist and would therefore prefer a complete works volume. Now, on both counts (i.e. The Aleph on its own or the complete works), I can only find currently in print the translation of an American called Andrew Hurley, who according to several Amazon reviewers does not do a terribly good job. Thoughts and suggestions muchly appreciated . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libri vermis Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Definitely do not get the Hurley translation. Borges' works lost all of their beauty in that translation. I had it, and got rid of it, as I found it unreadable. I don't know of any other translation with his complete works. But if you find one, please let me know, as I would like a copy as well.
