an all time great...,
By Irgens (Christiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shallow Soil (Paperback)
To many hamsun readers this one will seem to be quite a departure for Hamsun, as it is an urban tale centering around a bohemian clique, rather than the usual tale of the Norwegian peasantry. As I know only those that are already Hamsun fans will ever read this, let it suffice to say that this book is as good as any of his works (even Pan), so hurry up and get a copy...

SMILINGLY bad translation WTF :),
By B. Sabiston - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I haven't finished the book yet, but one thing is DRIVING ME INSANE. It is the fault of whatever moron translated this book.Have you ever read a translated book, and some weird quirk of the translator stands out and practically ruins the experience? Well, it's happening to me with this book and it is so FUNNY I just wanted to warn people. Whoever translated from Hamsun's original repeatedly and unceasingly uses the word "smilingly". As in, "he added smilingly", "She asks me smilingly", "answered Coldevin smilingly". Now, I don't know if that even is a word, and the first time I read it I thought it was cute, but then it started occurring every few pages! I mean, the guy must just associate some common word in Norwegian with the very UNCOMMON "smilingly" in English! He doesn't stop to think that in English, running across the word smilingly on every friggin' page is WEIRD. It has gotten so that now I am just cringing as I read along, waiting for him to use it again. Anyway, just a warning! "Beware!", he said smilingly. Bob |
