Daniel Pham | 24 comments These 2 versions of "Dòng sông ly biệt" (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...) are Vietnamese translations of "Fire and Rain" by Chiung Yao (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1...)

Thanks in advance!

The author and translator(s) of this edition were added in one field. Do you know if this is one person or two:

Chu Thanh Nga - Đàm Hưng (Translator)

Worldcat does not provide this information.

Hi! They are two different translators. Hope that helps!

lethe | 16368 comments Thanks, it does :) Currently trying to combine the editions (keep getting error messages). ETA Finally! combined.

But now I have a different question.

There is a Goodreads Author Quỳnh Dao:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

and a non-claimed author Quỳnh Dao:
https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I assume neither of these is this the same as Chiung Yao / Quỳnh Dao?

Daniel Pham | 24 comments This is pretty confusing to me as well. The books in non-claimed profile are all of Chiung Yao. But there are some (not all) books in the Goodreads profile belong to another Vietnamese author of the same name.

Moreover, can you combine two versions of "Dòng sông ly biệt" to "Fire and Rain" since they are literally the same book with different languages?

Yes, I already did.
