Next book to be reprinted is I Malavoglia (The House by the Medlar Tree) by Giovanni Verga , tr Judith Landry. It is the first translation Dedalus commissioned way back in 1984 and was published in 1985.

I remember looking at the previous translations of I Malavoglia at the Reading Room at the British Museum. They weren't very good & I even thought of translating it myself & did the first few pages before giving up as I wasn't very good. Happily we found Judith Landry to do it.

As a student I rang up the editor at Penguin and asked why they didn't do I Malavoglia as they did the lesser work of Verga. The answer was the lesser works were translated by D.H.Lawrence who didn't do I Malavoglia. An early publishing lesson I still remember.

In the mail: very excited to see more fiction from Georgia, the stories of Goderdzi Chokheli, "Fish Letters", from Dedalus Books dedalusbooks.com/our-books/book…
