I've wanted to read The Lord of the Rings in English for a long time and I'm thrilled. The book is very easy to read, the extensive descriptions aren't boring – on the contrary, I really enjoy them. In general, I don't like translations or dubbed movies because they can't capture the author's intent accurately; the translator always inserts their own vision, and that doesn't work for me.
The book is very heavy, I wouldn't take it with me on my travels :)
Jiz dlouho jsem si chtela precist Pana Prstenu v Anglictine a jsem nadsena. Kniha se cte velmi jednoduse, rozsahle popisy nenudi - ba naopak, opravdu si je uzivam. Vseobecne namam rada preklady a dabovane filmy, jelikoz nedokazi presne vystihnout autorovu myslenku, prekladatel si tam vzdy vlozi svou vizi a to mi nevyhovuje.
Kniha je velmi tezka, na cesty bych ji nebrala :)
