>old book gets a new translation
>new translation is bland, softened and politically correct, deliberately written to appeal to an audience comfortable with young adult directness & spareness of vocabulary
>that is, with the intention of being marketable, adopted by high school classes and redditors

I love it.

The first time I saw it at the met, I came back to it thricely.

I admit he never really painted anything else of any value, but this one, this one worked.

In certain way, it's funny that they picked a terrible book cover to ensure no one ever reads that translation.
