Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dithyrambs of Dionysus (German and English Edition) (Paperback)
CAVEAT EMPTOR!!! (jk)
The presentation of the poems is refreshing, and Hollingdale is one artful and masterful translator; there's something to be said for what self discipline and self education will do for you.

*avoid Walter Kaufman's translation of 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' at all costs. Facile doesn't begin to describe some of the word choices there, -the only average translation from the guy.

That, and I highly recommend "The Pre-Platonic Philosophers" -good translation & reconstruction of Fritz's lecture notes; not available previously in English. Hollingdale's bio is great as well.
