Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: the pages have tanned a bit, due to aging; else flawless. Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. REMAINDER, showing a small pen mark (may indeed simply be a stray mark) at the bottom edge. NOT a Book-Club or Ex-Library. 12mo. 224pp. Translated, and with an Introduction by David Barrett. (Penguin Classics). Mass Market Paperback. Comedy is notoriously difficult to translate--not only do some cultures have entirely different senses of humor, the word-play and deft cultural allusions that make good comedy are often untranslatable. Against these odds, translator David Barrett has successfully brought Aristophanes into modern English with all his wit, sarcasm, and sly digs at well-known Greeks. The plays collected here--Frogs, Wasps, and Women at the Thesmophoria--are rendered so well that I was laughing all the way through. The translations are remarkably true to the originals and well foot-noted where the translator has diverged from the text, usually to make a joke an English-speaking reader would understand. Frogs and Other Plays is a fast, easy, and very funny read, well worth the time for anyone interested in ancient Greece, drama, or good old-fashioned comedy.
