Dorian Gray - no.22

GF Flammarion, 2006

Price: Don't know.

History: Another French copy, a present from Friend 3.

Look: A very interesting cover image, with a splintered portrait. The French make their books in a wonderfully floppy way, which makes them nice to hold. Presumably, if read, this translation would be slightly different from my other french edition. The translation of books is an interesting area - I've a bilingual friend who claims, for example, that Twilight's Spanish translation is actually a stylistically better written book.

Introduction/Appendices: Pascal Aquien provides what could be a fascinating introduction, if I could read it...
