>not knowing woodsworth classics

I bought this abysmal version of War and Peace at the thrift shop today, can't argue with 6 bucks do.

No, yeah, I was surprised too at how good the cover was considering that it was a Wordsworth publication.

I thought they were being unnecessarily slated on /lit/, because my Wordworth copy of Chapman's translation of Homer is also good, but your copy brings it all back.

Into the trash it it goes....

Be careful of going cheap with translations of great literature though, the wrong edition might make you miss out on stuff.

MAKES ZERO SENSE SINCE IT WAS ERECTED AFTER HUGO'S DEATH

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I mean, it's like putting an iPhone on the cover of "The Old Man and the Sea".

>>7317421
you know what is worst?
If you delete the tower you obtain a perfect background with the Austerlitz bridge. That was a location in the book. (when jean escapes in the cloister)
