I'm sick to my stomah at the cringe from having read this.
>I have the Barnes and Noble Classic series version.
>I've read many reviews that it isn't a good translation. I agree with that, I'm trying to read it, but I find myself annoyed with way the book is written, not the book itself.
>I was wondering, do you know any translations that are SIMPLE and EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
>I don't like translations/books that have difficult vocabulary.
>I don't like having to look up in the dictionary every word I read, it gets old pretty quickly.
>I also don't like reading translations that say things in weird ways like for example "Happy are you not?", and writing styles similar to Shakespeare and Old English. I like writing styles that are modern, simple, and easy to understand.
>I want to focus as much attention as possible on the actual material of the book and little to no attention at all to how it is written. I simply don't care about sophisticated writing. I like simple and easy writing.
>So I was wondering, do you guys know of any translations for Plato's Republic that is easy to understand and doesn't have lots of complicated vocabulary?
