Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Caesar; S Commentaries on the Gallic War: Translated Into English The rough draft of the following translation was made many years ago both as a labour of love and as an aid to the composition of the narrative of my Caesar´s Conquest of Gaul; but the publication was deferred, partly because I had other work to do, partly in order that I might be able to elucidate not only the chapters which treat of the Gallic War, but also those which are devoted to the invasions of Britain. A translator cannot but fail unless he is in sympathy with his author; and, however gifted he may be, I doubt whether he can do justice to more than one writer, for his own style will remain the same. Jowett´s Thucydides is a great intellectual achievement and a noble example of English prose; but, compared with his Plato it is a failure. Moreover, even though each age may demand its own version of a classic, there is a time for translation as for everything else.
