Review title: translation leaves stuff out
Product review: I was given a copy of Il Nome della Rosa and, because my Italian is only so-so, started to compare it with the English translation to make sure I was missing nothing. I wasn't - but the translor was! For those who found the medieval details a bit dry (I am not one of them) you should know that already on p. 3 of the text (excluding Ecco's prologue, which I did not check) half a dozen lines of text have been omitted. I don't know who made the decision, but when you are publishing a book that is going to be over five hundred pages anyway, why trim phrases here and there? (Especially when adding a lengthy introduction by David Lodge!)
