Who This Author Is
Burton Raffel has enough depth here to be more than a raw catalog rollup. This page pulls together 6 catalog-linked books across 1982 to 2010, which makes it easier to separate the strongest starting points from the noisier editions. The clearest lane here leans toward Backlist browsing.
Best for readers who want a dependable place to start before opening the full catalog list. If you want the easiest first click, start with The Art of Translating Prose and branch outward from there. UPB note: the strongest documented run here lands between 1982 to 2010; the most common copies on this page tend to come from Pennsylvania State Univ Pr and Moon City Press.
