Title: Great book for all; great translation for many, too.
Review: The excellence of this work is timeless and unquestioned. I find the George Long translation to be the only version with the "right feel." This may well be in part because it was the first version to which I was exposed, but its faintly mustily archaic sentence structures, word choices, and overall tone seem best fitted to the work, and, at least for one friendly with Shakespeare and the King James Bible, offer no bar to its absorption and enjoyment. In this day and age, as in every day and age, so deep and profound an offering of virtue, humility, duty, and honor seems a stranger to our modern world, and can be best heard if it speaks in a voice not quite our own
