    Brief Comparison to Dryden/Clough Translation
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 5, 2015*

I have only started reading this book, translated by Perrin, but I wanted to make a quick comparison with the "Dryden translation, edited and revised by Arthur Hugh Clough," as presented in the 1992 Modern Library edition available at my library. Consider:Clough says: "That age produced a sort of men, in force of hand, and swiftness of foot, and strength of body, excelling the ordinary rate and wholly incapable of fatigue; making use, however, of these gifts of nature to no good or profitable purpose for mankind, but rejoicing and priding themselves in insolence, and taking the benefit of their superior strength in the exercises of inhumanity and cruelty, and in seizing, forcing, and committing all manner of outrages upon everything that fell into their hands; all respect for others, all justice, they thought, all equity and humanity, though naturally lauded by common people, either out of want of courage to commit injuries or fear to receive them, yet no way concerned those who were strong enough to win for themselves."Where Perrin says: "For verily that age produced men who, in work of hand and speed of foot and vigour of body, were extraordinary and indefatigable, but they applied their powers to nothing that was fitting or useful. Nay rather, they exulted in monstrous insolence, and reaped from their strength a harvest of cruelty and bitterness, mastering and forcing and destroying everything that came in their path. And as for reverence and righteousness, justice and humanity, they thought that most men praised these qualities for lack of courage to do wrong and for fear of being wronged, and considered them no concern of men who were strong enough to get the upper hand."

    good book but can be hard for 12 year old to engage
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 9, 2012*

My 12 year old can't get into the lives written in this book very well.  She does read them and does well.  It is more fun for me to read them to her and we discuss them as we go.
