I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, thank you.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The 100 Best Love Poems of the Spanish Language (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and I have passed it on to Prof. Noar at Fordham University who agreed with me that the translation is excellent. It is not easy to translate poetry but this translation captured the idiom of both languages in flowing, rhythmical, metrical way without loosing imaginative verve and preserving the emotional delicacy and fineness of the language structure. Thank you for this effort.
