For Nicholas Freeling’s 1980 novel “Castang’s City,” featuring French police investigator Henri Castang, which I’m reading (or perhaps, re-reading, I can’t recall) I found this:
“3.0 out of 5 stars Very Poor Translation
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2020
Verified Purchase
Tried to read but the awkward translation was very distracting and often left me wondering what the essence of a sentence was. Gave up reading in annoyance.”
Well, trouble is, Freeling wrote in English. Nonetheless two people found the review helpful.
