Which version or translation of this book should I purchase?

>> No.17430673

i dont know specifics but from what i understand you really have to get the earlier versions because the later ones cut out quite a bit of important content

>> No.17430697

>>17430665
Definitely the one in your picture. I've read a more modern one and while it was more poetic and flowed better, it cut a lot of very descriptive text.

>> No.17430727

will do!

this edition by that meme publisher is ridden with typos...I'm not kidding it is the most amateur publishing job i've ever seen in my life. That being said the bits that are in there, that are missing the popular penguin version, are worth the purchase.

Don't listen to him. You need to get the Bofa translation, and only the Bofa stranlation.

you make it seem like every page has misspelled words, when really it was an uncapitalized letter every few dozen pages

>> No.17432190

seriously the most important thing is not the quality of the translation, its that you get a version with the cut content...

>> No.17432223

Just a nitpick from a German autist, but "The storm of steel" doesn't quite catch the meaning of the original title "In Stahlgewittern". Gewitter isn't just a storm, it is a lightningstorm or a thunderstorm. Stahlgewitter meaning a lightningstorm made of steel.

So maybe "In the iron lightningstorm" would be better, but it does not flow as well. Still, lightnings made of steel striking all around you is the point of the title, and "storm of steel" sounds quite a bit more generic than that.

There's a new translation, "In Storms of Steel", by Kasey James Elliott (same translator of previously untranslated works like War as Inner Experience, that was posted about a few days ago here). Anyone know more about this?

Ich bevorzuge die Otto Apelt Übersetzung, die beste Alternative wäre Schleiermeier.

Copse 125 had a few typos as well. I wish I could remember what it was but there was one really disconcerting one that really made no sense until I finally figured out it was a typo.

That's exactly it though. Every page has errors

yeh, I mean, this is literally what everyone pictures. "Storm of Steel" evokes for me exactly the imagery you described without resorting to clunky compounds like "thunderstorm"

>> No.17433804

Fair enough.

Yeah, that would probably be better.
