Selected Writings of Juan Ramon Jimenez
Juan Ramon Jimenez

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1957

Why not a bilingual text?

The possibility of judging the success of a translation hinges on having the original texts side by side the translated ones. Furthermore, in poetry translations that success depends greatly on whether or not the translator is a poet in both languages, otherwise the poetic essence of the texts will ...
  
  











  



  
Border of a Dream: Selected Poems of Antonio Machado

Delving Deeper into the Dream Below the Sun

+ Reading is Believing

Certain Chance: Poems

Bucknell University Press, 2000

Bravo!

+ Salinas, and Garrison, shine
+ Lovely but strong love poems

This is a wonderful book. David Lee Garrison is a graceful, unfailingly accurate translator, capturing the wit and wisdom of one of Pedro Salinas's best collections. In a prologue, Salinas writes that "poetry, like love, either conquers or ceases to exist." This time it conquers!

The Revolt of the Masses
Jose Ortega y Gasset

W. W. Norton & Company, 1994

Ortega's Revolt of the Masses

+ The Coming of the Masses
+ Shipwrecked

This is an important book, perhaps the most important, of an author who has been unjustly ignored. Ortega is the forgotten existentialist and one of the best of the bunch. Anybody with even a passing interest in the continental tradition in philosophy should read Ortega.
