This is right. Edith Grossman's new edition is probably the most up-to-date, historically authentic version. She's a great translator of Spanish, one of the few translators in the world who actually get cover credits on American editions (most publishers try to hide the fact that a book was translated, but her name gets plastered all over the front.)
