Certainly some glorious reviews here. Really quite thrilling to read such fine words about such fine words! I am curious about the different translations. I have the copy translated by Alison Entrekin but the copy here reviewed is translated by Giovanni Pontiero. Has anyone here perhaps read both translations who would be willing to offer up thoughts on which is the 'better' one?
