Title: Trashy, Inept, and Deceptive Treatment of a Classic
Review: Nowhere in this edition does it say whether the book is abridged or unabridged. Nowhere does it say who the translator is. Wouldn't these be basic facts a customer is entitled to know?Rather ironic omissions for an "enriched" edition allegedly full of supplementary helpful information.Even worse, I strongly suspect (from another version of this 'enriched' edition on Amazon) that the translator is Charles Wilbour, a man who seems to always pop up as the translator of many French novels, but a man who should never be allowed near the French language:As someone who knows French, I counted on just the first half page -eight- different unclear - or just plain wrong - translations. Some of them render a French word into a little known,stilted, or archaic English word.That's when I said "Ah! This has to be Wilbour" . . . And I tossed the book with great force at the radiator.
