Synopsis

Book by Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'Walter Arndt of Dartmouth College has for many years been fashioning his own fine and exceedingly faithful renderings, almost always in the meter and rhyme scheme of the original poem... As soon as the reader gets into the swing of Mr. Arndt's versions - particularly those of Pushkin's longer poems - he loses any sense of artificiality and is carried along by the story and pace and dash with which it is recounted... One reason Mr. Arndt's versions are so good is that they do not draw attention, as more self-regarding translations have been apt to do, to the difficulty of the thing; they go with a swing that makes it easy to read them and draws us naturally into the narrative flow. Mr Arndt shows how much easier it is to read a narrative poem in verse equivalent than in the defeatest form of what is called a 'plain prose translation'.' --New York Times Book Review
