Foreign

I have, for years now, been conflicted over the issue of translations. I fear/feel that much is lost in translation. I would love to read Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera and One Hundred Years of Solitude in Spanish but my Spanish is so terrible. Reading Kundera, Kafka, Chapek, Havel, etc always makes me think of the problem/issue with translations. I'm still struggling with the issue. I don't want to miss out on all the great literature in all the languages I do not speak.
