Reviews

[Svetlana Zakharova · Rating 4 out of 5]

сам трактат отличный, оч. хороший перевод; удивительно как срабатывает эта бернштейновская разбивка на псевдостихотворные строки, и все читается в разы легче и веселей. только вот издание подкачало: чуть ли не на каждой странице опечатки, в цитатах почему-то зачастую сливаются слова в одной или нескольких строчках - в общем, такое впечатление, что макет никто не вычитывал, а жаль. впрочем, содержание форму таки победило!
