scfoster 's review for:
The Three Musketeers
by Alexandre Dumas
Me reading bowdlerized translations of this as a kid: why are the characters sneaking around at night just so they can talk to each other in a bedroom instead of a living room?
Me reading Pevear’s translation: ah they’re having sex. That makes WAY more sense.
On that note, you will never convince me that editing books to align with current social mores is a good idea. The only way I will ever accept such an endeavor is if the moralized version contains a clear acknowledgement of your tampering on the cover along with an introduction that explains exactly what you’re changing and why you changed it.
