Rodrigo Cesáreo Pampin (el_atu) | 8 comments Ok, here is my problem. Theres is a book, "Historias de Terramar I", Thta includes "Un Mago de Terramar" and "Las Tumbas de Atuan", this two are the first of the Earthsea Cycle, and are also, the subtitle of the book.

So, what i did is "Historias de Terramar I: Un Mago de Terramar / Las Tumbas de Atuan"
Should i add (The Earthsea Cycle, #1 and #2) or something like that?
What do you think?

Thanks

I would add the parenthetical, yes.

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments I thought that for translations, we were not putting the English title in the title field, but instead putting it in the description field?
(Not arguing, just seeking clarification...)

This is not so much the title but the series title, but I take your point. Rodrigo, does the series have a name in Spanish?

The Spanish translation of this is "The Earthsea Cycle I: A Wizard of Earthsea / The Tombs of Atuan", so the series title is already in the book title. It looks like this is Volume I of a series of omnibus books, this volume has the first two novels.


(I was just in cleaning up a bunch of the LeGuin books the other day, too...)



Rodrigo Cesáreo Pampin (el_atu) | 8 comments Ya, i would put the title in spanish, wich would be (Historias de Terramar, #1 y #2)

So it would be:

"Historias de Terramar I: Un Mago de Terramar / Las Tumbas de Atuan (Historias de Terramar, #1 y #2)"

I just put it in englsih so you know of wich series im talking about

I swear, I passed Spanish in high school. I should actually have read the title instead of scanning past. ;)

I think it should actually be: Un Mago de Terramar / Las Tumbas de Atuan (Historias de Terramar, #1 y #2)


Rodrigo Cesáreo Pampin (el_atu) | 8 comments Yeah, but the problem it's that the cover of the book actually says "Historias de Terramar" and then, as a subtitle "Un Mago de Terramar / Las Tumbas de Atuan"...
So, what do you think?

Carolyn (seeford) | 573 comments I know it diverges from our series numbering slightly, but I would put:
"Historias de Terramar I: Un Mago de Terramar / Las Tumbas de Atuan (#1 y #2)"
