The translator is a traitor. I've notified the appropriate intelligence agencies and fired off a nasty complaint to Amazon.com. And I've stolen Jeff Bezos's cat.

Geoffrey Chaucer (translated by Nevill Coghill) The Canterbury Tales for $1.99.

Jonas Jonasson (translated by Rachel Wilson-Broyles) The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden for $1.99.

I tried to read Chaucer once. That was enough.

Though, I did enjoy reading The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, and this book looks like it is in the same vein, so thanks for that.

Endeavour, free

Anna Fitzalan by Marguerite Steen

First published in 1953 by Collins.

Anna’s story is that of a woman of breeding and principle, who, having fulfilled her obligations to an unsympathetic husband, to whom she has borne two children, accepts, after his death, the equivocal position of common law wife to the man with whom, as a little girl, she fell deeply and abidingly in love. Involved by a profound sense of duty in a series of obligations to the grown-up children of her first marriage and to a beloved grandchild, she manages, nevertheless, to conduct with dignity and devotion her relationship with Evan Crewe—an industrial magnate of the Second World War.

The book ends on a high note of philosophy that carries conviction through the personal qualities of the heroine.

Amazon.com wants to help plan your summer vacation.

James Clavell Shogun for $2.99. Nearly 1500 reviews with a 4.8 score. Whole lotta love.

Richard Lattimore translation of The Odyssey of Homer for $1.99. 2x the reviews, but only 4.3 stars. D'Oh!

Yiyun Li The Vagrants for $1.99. 63 reviews and 4.0 stars. The book is still fairly young. Maybe it'll settle down when it's older.

I loved "Shogun" I've read it 2 or 3 times. Great book!

The "Odyssey"? I had to read it in school, it's got an emotional baggage that I can't get rid of. Short sighted, I know.

"Vagrants"? - I'm gonna look into it.

Why would you need a translation of the Canterbury Tales? Middle English is perfectly understandable, a few difficult words but nothing a dictionary can't solve.

And if you want the orginal words with modernized spelling plus glossary and commentary you can either download the PDFs from here http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/we...hy/canterbury/ or buy the kindle book https://www.amazon.com/Canterbury-Ta.../dp/B00B13DK7K

Here's the editor's statement
The Language of this Edition
Some Chaucerians, act as if the works of the poet should be carefully kept away from the general reader and student, and reserved for those few who are willing to master the real difficulties of Middle English grammar and spelling, and the speculative subtleties of Middle English pronunciation. Others may read him in translation if they wish !

The text of this edition in modern English spelling is intended to subvert that misguided notion. It is designed for those readers in school, university, living room or commuter train who would like to read or re-read Chaucer as readily as they can read or re-read other classics in English; readers who do not want the vagaries of archaic Middle English spelling, nor yet a flat translation. Very few scholars now read Shakespeare in the spelling of his day, but all readers of Chaucer are forced to read him in the spelling of his day, and this is a great obstacle for most people. This edition is meant to supply a version of Chaucer that avoids both simple translation or scholarly archaism. This edition is not a translation. The grammar, the syntax, and the vocabulary of this modspell edition remain essentially unchanged from the language of the original. Everything is Chaucer’s except for the spelling. Hence it can also be used as an accompanying or preliminary text by those who wish to master Chaucer's dialect as it is displayed in scholarly editions.
