Reclam (German publisher)

Do their books come with notes like Penguin/Oxford or is just the main text?

    They often come with notes, yes. I found the quality of the notes quite alright. Some were excellent, some were less than decent. It depends. At least they're cheap.

      The City? Is that Republic or Statesman?

        Keep in mind Reclam is best for reading. They're pretty basic, especially in older prints. They're certainly far from the best editions on any given text out there.

          This, sometimes their translations are just whatever they could get for cheap.

            For translations they sometimes even use 18th and 19th century texts which they slightly edit to fit current speech styles. They're not very transparent about it either. Reclam is usuably not a citable source for papers because of that. It's just for reading in cheap editions. I sometimes carry one of these in my pockets when I go somewhere.

        You should translate titles correctly into your language so I wouldnt have to.

          It's not "Stadt", you dummy. It's "Staat". One is "city" and the other "state" or, well "republic".

            Your words for city and state shouldnt be so similar.

            Words with five letters are already pretty hard for a dyslexic, I agree.

            My seething hatred of Plato is because of his homophobia in Laws book 3. I want to be left with my Anatolian translady wife in peace!

          Original title is Πολιτεία (Politeia) meaning 'city-state'. There's no mistake.

    Does any German ITT know a good edition of Goethe's works? Individual books, I mean, but with good academic apparatus

      I bet there's several critical editions out there. I don't own any of them though.

      I just bought C. H. Bedition of Faust from Amazon.de. It's cheap, hardcover, complete and annotated. What else could you ask for?

    Oh, they have extra materials alright.
    The reclam version of The Ego and its Own has an afterword that's nothing less than a seething diatribe by a marxist scholar stretched out over 40 pages, kek.

      Afterwords with lots of seething are the best kind of afterword.
