Subj : No article To : Ardith Hinton From : Alexander Koryagin Date : Mon Sep 08 2025 15:56:44 Hi, Ardith Hinton! I read your message from 30.08.2025 23:56 AK>> Probably most of books are translated into English by people who AK>> are not Englishmen. They convey the contents well, but sometimes AK>> use prepositions as at home. ;-) AH> Does the Gutenberg edition you're using provide any information AH> about who the translator was or about when & where s/he lived? AH> According to the Vancouver Public Library's summary of this book, AH> the captain was British & the edition they offer was published by AH> Oxford University Press. While I know nothing about the translator, AH> apart from his name, I trust the Oxford University Press to know AH> how the English language is (or was) spoken in their own country at AH> the time of publication. VPL users are also invited to share their AH> perception of the library's offerings, and I see that in one review AH> of another novel by Jules Verne the writer spoke highly of a AH> Penguin edition in which the translator was named & made a point of AH> saying he much preferred it to an alternative in which the AH> translator was not named. AH> Many people nowadays try to dummify or modernize or sanitize AH> various classics in English, but when they do the original flavour AH> is often lost. :-)) It seems the translator was not important to mention him. ;-) Or I missed it? But the artist who made the pictures was clearly mentioned. -----Beginning of the citation----- The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras, by Jules Verne This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
