As I explain in the blog, I'm not convinced this new translation is the one to read if you're going to take the time to read or re-read it. If I re-read the whole thing I might read the Rosemary Edmonds version published by Penguin. It's stood the test of time and the experts are saying good things about it, but same with Ann Dunnigan's which I haver read. But I'm not even sure it matters with modern languages.
