Today i learned, that there is a latin translation of Winnie the Pooh. https://www.amazon.com/Winnie-Ille-Pu-Latin-Milne/dp/014015339X https://www.amazon.com/Winnie-Ille-Pu-Latin-Milne/dp/0140153... It even became a bestseller, and appeared on the list of New York Times bestsellers. Is it known, if translations of the work need to pay for copyright too?
- chrisseaton 5y agoYes it’s used in lots of schools.
- MichaelMoser123 5y agoFascinating detail. My father used the book to teach me some English as a second language, the book is written in a clear and simple language. I wonder if these qualities have been preserved in the translation.
- shakna 5y agoThe spine on my Latin translation is far too tattered for me to crack open and scan an example page, but, yes. It's very, very simple and easy to read. One of the peculiarities of the translation, that makes it so simple to read, is that it opts to use genderless words where possible. Using words like "illi" instead of "eae" for example.
