★★★★★ 5
A very accessible classic
Format: Paperback
I chose this translation on the recommendation of a good friend who is also a professor of English. I wanted something that was true to the spirit of the work and not necessarily tied to the exact meter and rhyme of the original just for the sake of maintaining both. I was not disappointed. What struck me most was the imagery of the translation. As I read, I could see the scenes and felt that I was there, experiencing the plot.
This tale has many of the elements of the current popular "superhero" genre of movies. Properly done, it would make an excellent film. Read it and enjoy!
