The Importance of Dual Text

Reading a work of literature in its original language is an incredibly rewarding experience. It allows us to connect with the text on a deeper level, and to appreciate the nuances and subtleties that can be lost in translation. However, for many readers, reading in a foreign language can be a daunting task.

This is where dual text editions come in. Dual text editions present the original language text on one page and the new verse translation on the facing page. This allows readers to follow along with the translation while still being able to refer to the original text. This makes reading in a foreign language much more accessible, and allows readers to enjoy the beauty of the original language without having to worry about getting lost in translation.

The Value of New Verse Translation

Verse translation is a unique and challenging art form. It requires the translator to not only understand the meaning of the original text, but also to recreate it in a new language in a way that is both faithful to the original and poetic in its own right.

The new verse translations in Alma Classics are written by some of the most accomplished poets working today. These poets have a deep understanding of both the original language and the target language, and they have created new translations that are both accurate and beautiful.
