You know that Reading...Yes, it's very exciting! You know that Reading All Around the World Jean is hosting? Well I was looking for ideas and I looked at the OUP catalogue (<a href="http://fdslive.oup.com/www.oup.com/academic/pdf/catalogues/owc/OWC2_2016.pdf" rel="nofollow">here's the page, it's a pdf</a>) and if you look on page 9 it says for 2017 His Excellency and Love Story is coming out in autumn, and after that Zest for Life, Doctor Pascal, and The Dream.<br /><br />I'll definitely want Abbé Mouret when it comes out. I'll one day get The Dream and Zest out of curiosity (not urgent, I liked the translation I read), and I would like a decent translation of His Excellency and Doctor Pascal when I can. To be honest I'd like to read the series again one day, perhaps this time in Vizetelly's order, so it would be good to get some decent translations. I'm like you - I like OUP the best. I'll try others, Penguin's not bad, but really for me OUP is the definitive translation. Getting the old or obscure translations has been a waste of money I think.ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584058713548027639.post-84191250897566833692017-03-06T11:45:19.737+07:002017-03-06T11:45:19.737+07:00Thanks Joseph, congrats for finishing yours, and g...Thanks Joseph, congrats for finishing yours, and good luck for your second round!Fanda Classiclithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642429343958941266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584058713548027639.post-11519684455797814172017-03-06T08:57:57.985+07:002017-03-06T08:57:57.985+07:00Thanks o!

OUP has told me the other day that Sin of Abbe Mouret will be out this year (that's how it appeared on my list), but they didn't say about other titles. Hmm... then I will have to kick out two or more books from the list to make room for the coming Zolas! <br /><br />Asnwering your question, I read Zola in English, but I prefer to have OUP translation. That's why I have to wait for them to publish new titles to be able to put more Zolas into the list. I don't like to buy copies from other publisher, only to compare later that OUP's is better, then I have to buy another copy.

If in English - this spring (May I think) there's a new translation of The Sin of Abbe Mouret out published by Oxford University Press. I'm going to get it, I liked the translation I read but I always knew it could be so much better. There seems to be quite a few other Zolas coming out this year too, I know Zest for Life is one of them and I think there's another two more.<br /><br />Good luck with your new list!ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01245931629228090133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584058713548027639.post-11843179952760592802017-03-03T16:11:04.759+07:002017-03-03T16:11:04.759+07:00Thanks Brona...
