^^I think it's always worth paying for a good modern translation of any classic dating back to the nineteenth century and earlier, and the more so the longer or more difficult the book. Dated translations are foolish economies, IMO.

I plan to read this soonish myself. I own the Donougher translation in ebook and the Rose in audio and after having sampled both, I vastly prefer Donougher.
