Review: UNA JOYA - GRANDIOSO QUE LOS EXTRANJEROS CONOZCAN UNA OBRA MAESTRA Review: Utterly engrossing - This easily stands comparison with Dickens, Balzac, or Tolstoy. I am ashamed I had never heard of the author until very recently. There are two particularly difficult problems facing the translator: how to render the very varied narrative register of characters from a wide social range, and how to deal with the subtleties of tu/usted. In the first case, some of the more plebeian voices speak with American vulgarisms which some may find odd or grating (although they serve the purpose). In the second case, we just get footnotes pointing out when the original Spanish changes. This is useful - and probably the only way to render it in English - but it also has the effect of making me regret that modern English, with only one word for "you", must miss out on a great deal of subtlety - which the author uses here, to great effect. (The Portuguese are even luckier - they have eight different ways to say "you"... how monochrome our language seems in comparison....) ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #305,384 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6,038 in Classic Literature & Fiction #19,671 in Literary Fiction #34,329 in Genre Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 23 Reviews | ## Images ![Fortunata and Jacinta - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61uRrPdmdNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UNA JOYA *by C***N on 13 May 2026* GRANDIOSO QUE LOS EXTRANJEROS CONOZCAN UNA OBRA MAESTRA ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Utterly engrossing *by M***E on 18 March 2017* This easily stands comparison with Dickens, Balzac, or Tolstoy.
