That's interesting, can you say what makes Mr. Alexanders translation better in your opinion. I've never read Pat McCarthy's version but I did brief through George Alexanders a long time ago.

I'd be interested in hearing your comparison.

McCarthy's stuff seems more interpreted and less translated.
