Which Musashi translation to read?
**1. Charles S. Terry Translation (1981)**
**2. Alexander Bennett Translation (2026)**
Has any of you guys read the original translation?
if so how would you compare them, contents and translation style both or if you have any example to quote
its significantly shorter as I can see but its still 900 pages long. Would you say much is lost in abridged version, does it really just remove just noise and side-stories and so on or does it remove significant plot
my reading goal is mostly entairtenment and also getting some more understanding and appreciation for Japan and its literature so I dont mind some parts being cut to make it modern or more biteable
