Beautiful Prose, jarring accent
Revisado: 09-17-23
God forbids John Lee ever read Spanish (and naybe French) again. I don't even speak Spanish yet his accent gave me the cringest experience I ever had in listening audiobooks. I mean, no one would speak Spanish with that... posh intonation.
To the publisher: please consider have a new reader... the story is so beautiful and it's a pity to have it butchered by some weird accent.

Joachim Neugroschel’s brilliant new translation lets you enjoy the work of Nobel-Laureate Thomas Mann as never before. By using creative, contemporary language, Neugroschel reinterprets Mann for modern English-speaking audiences. The author’s superb literary craftsmanship, his psychological insight, and the deeply erotic content of his work shine forth in this definitive English-language version of some of his most celebrated short works. This collection features the world masterpiece

Great translation
Revisado: 10-22-22
The translation is superb. The prose flows in a way that is both native and exotic. My only complain is the Chapter names. It would be great if they can be named after the antual story instead of just chpater xx.
