Dead Souls: PoemsGogol, Nikolai Vasilevich;Maguire, Robert A
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"[A] lively English version of Pushkin's 1831 verse novel....A masterly performance, and a thoroughly charming book."
Kirkus, 05/01/1999
Review:"Hofstadter's ignorance of English, the English of poetry...dooms his translation. He has absolutely no ear when it comes to mixing levels of diction....There's not a single line that sings or zings. He's caught the rhythm and nothing else, which makes the rhythm wrong by making it too pronounced....The result is tortured syntax, groan-inducing rhymes and a language unlike that ever spoken by anyone on earth."
Richard Lourie, New York Times Book Review, 10/12/1999
