So I bought Robin Kirkpatrick's translation by Penguin Classics. But I recently watched a farily knowledgeable and reliable person review different translations and called this translation "bad". And I did some research and saw the Hollander one being recommended the most, but I can't really find a complete edition of the 3 parts of the Divine comedy translated by Hollander. So I was wondering does the translation (or this translation in particular if you have any knowledge about it) really matter that much to someone like me who is not super picky?

I bought the Illustrated version of Lotr and the Hobbit. Way too expensive, but totally worth it.

If that relative were to start pressuring them and making appeal to that persons supposed moral degeneracy or emotional arguments in general it would be bad. But exchanging rational arguments and books I can't see being bad, because it is an attempt at good faith argumentation most times - if not it is that at least in the very act of doing it.

The thought of the gift here is a relative wanting to help the person rethink their position rationally. Jeez you guys are all really sensitive.
And its also really funny and naive how you think people arrive at their positions in this way lol.

Is being rational insulting now?

Is that not a good thought?
