Narrator Skips Interesting Notes at Bottom of Page

Revisado: 09-22-18

A fine book, but why does the narrator skip over the interesting notes that sometimes appear at the bottoms of pages? I don't understand. You should at least warn customers about this problem. The reading is not "unabridged."

Need to Disclose and Highlight Name of Translator

Revisado: 08-27-18

If you disclosed Constance Garnett as the translator of this version of Anna Karenina, where did you do so? I didn't catch it. This is important information that needs to be highlighted. Vladimir Nabokov, a master of the Russian and English languages, thought that Garnett's translation was a "complete disaster." Whether Nabokov was right or not, there certainly is a real controversy about the translation.

I beg you, in the future please disclose the translator's name routinely, and as prominently as the name of the author. Thank you.

Not Unabridged, Strictly Speaking

Revisado: 07-24-17

Any additional comments?

The recording skips the textual notes/comments that are at the bottoms of pages throughout the book. (These are in addition to the numbered footnotes the end of the text.) Deplorable. You will have to buy the book and read this important omitted material yourself. It was misleading to label the recording as "unabridged."

Wonderful book, though.
