Could be translated from english to another language you speak or translate to english from another language
The P&V translations (Russian to English) of both Crime and Punishment and Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Both these books have made me fall in love with Dostoevsky’s writing. I also liked the Hapgood translation (French to English) of Le Miserables by Victor Hugo.
All in English because I’m an Anglo moron who only speaks one language.
Crime and Punishment (Ready translation)
The Stranger (Ward translation)
Ficciones
Literally anything by Hermann Hesse (maybe my favorite author)
The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera was published in French and then English before being published in its original Czech.
Came to suggest this one only to find that what I thought was a translation was the original release now I’m confused !
The Invincible was retranslated in 2016 I think. It’s not bad. Explores the idea of none organic, or rather silicone based, life.
I do like Lem…
