Last Love Poems of Paul Eluard (English and French Edition)

The rating is for Eluard's poems, which are truly beautiful. The translation, though, is just OK; although I really understand the difficulties of translating from French to English, when it comes to poetry everything changes, the translation turns into art. Unfortunately, here and there, it seems that the translator misses the point and the meaning of the poem as a whole and what you get in English is a different poem than the French original.

This is a very good translation of Eluard poems. I am a French speaker and a big fan of Paul Eluard and I bought this English version for a friend.
