I bought a version of this book, printed in 1957. It may be a reflection upon myself, but between the variety of very odd spellings, sentence structure and uncommon word usage, it feels borderline unreadable. To digest a page takes me like 5 minutes and I am not quite sure I get it all. Does anyone have a recommended translation that is a little more accessible?
