Title: Only obliquely a review; more a comment and search
Review: I purchased this book after falling in love with another translation of "A Man in His Life" as printed in Christian Century magazine. I don't like the translation in this book as much, which leads me to consider the art of translation in general. I would like to find more of Amichai's work by the other translator.This is otherwise a very fine collection of poetry that moves through time and ideas in a thoughtful and detailed manner worthy of a mature poet. More people should read it.I'm not in a position to evaluate this translation versus others against the original. I'm also a (very amateur) fan of Nikos Kazantzakis, whom I also must enjoy in translation, and I have only the utmost gratitude and respect for translators of literature.As for this book: it is a fine work and I heartily recommend it. If you have any "leads" regarding additional translations please share them in the comments. Thank you.
