Anonymous Tue Feb 27 12:45:48 2018 No.10767953

I'm new to literature and try finding good deals on classics online but I feel like I'm having too many options. There's like 5 different variants of the same book both hardback and paperback, with different cover arts and some with "introduction by"
It's really frustrating. Should I just buy the most aesthetic variant?

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 27 12:51:28 2018 No.10767969 >>10767959 You're right, I realized I'm gonna end up having to buy paperbacks sooner or later if this hobby takes off since money is limited. I'd rather read more than own more.

>>10767981
Reason I'm asking is because there's a newish acclaimed German translation which translates the title as 'Notes from the basement hole'(very literal, basically it's a cellar dump sort of).
Most other German translations use the German equivalent of underground (Untergrund).

>>	Anonymous Tue Feb 27 22:58:05 2018 No.10770471 >>10767953 With stuff like Russian lit that honestly depends on what translation you want. If the most aesthetically pleasing one has a subpar translation I wouldn't go for it.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 28 06:24:19 2018 No.10771694 >>10771470 It's something like that in Romanian too

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 28 06:34:18 2018 No.10771718 >>10767953 I usually go by translation first then by publisher. If an edition has a really shit cover I won't buy it but it's not really a huge deal.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 28 15:37:55 2018 No.10773548 >>10767981 >>10771470 the Hungarian translation is "Notes from the mousehole"

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 28 15:52:01 2018 No.10773618 >>10767938 It's either Notes from Underground or Notes from the Underground. The Russian is ambiguous as to which it would be in English.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 28 17:05:14 2018 No.10774015 >>10767981 I've read that the most accurate is notes from beneath the floorboards or something like that

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 28 20:54:10 2018 No.10775078 >>10767938 It's Underground in my language too. It's dank anyway, corresponds to today's "underground music".

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 28 22:35:16 2018 No.10775440 >>10775159 Well the music is underground and is listened by some minority of people, same as Notes from the Underground is read by a minority of people.
