Hayley Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I don’t have either of those editions but usually, deluxe editions have special features inside, like illustrations, notes or essays on the text. I’m guessing that’s the longer one? Penguin are always good though 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 I suspect the shorter edition might be abridged, perhaps for younger readers, whereas the longer edition has the full version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carottyP Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 Big problem is that there is no exact description of what the first one contains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hayley Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 16 hours ago, carottyP said: Big problem is that there is no exact description of what the first one contains Honestly, that would put me off. I even tried searching the press that printed it and they really only have an online presence on Facebook. Other than that, the only information you can get is that they’re based in New Delhi. Only a handful of people have reviewed the copy (none in the UK) and the one person who actually left a comment said the quality was ‘fine’. I think I might have solved the mystery of the double-length penguin edition though. It looks like it contains both the original Italian on one side and the modern translation on the other! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
