Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Les Deux Sourds
Special pains should be taken to render the French into equally lively real English, in short to be satisfied with nothing less than an 'acting version', the test being: Could I say this if I were acting the part before an audience of my friends? Thus a most useful and far reaching lesson in translation should be learnt from this and kindred texts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
