Wallander the man who smiled6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Wallander's colleague Ann-Britt Höglund.Wallander's daughter Linda, who chooses to join the police like her father.In 2020, Netflix released Young Wallander, a prequel of Wallander on what happens to him after he graduates from the Swedish National Police Academy and is in on the first few days of job as a uniformed officer. Filmed in Ystad, the Swedish setting of the novels, it renders all spoken dialogue into English (complete with idioms like "done time"), but keeps all on-screen written text in Swedish (with the exception of the screen of Wallander's phone on occasions). The English adaptation is unusual in its use of Translation Convention. The novels became the basis of several film and TV adaptations: a Swedish televised film series for SVT starring Rolf Lassgård as the titular character, a Swedish television series for TV4 starring Krister Henriksson, and most recently an English-language adaptation starring Kenneth Branagh. In the novels Mankell explores social and political issues affecting modern-day Sweden, as well as providing the reader with plenty of mystery and suspense. ![]() ![]() ![]() Swedish author Henning Mankell's Nordic Noir series of crime novels follow Kurt Wallander, a middle-aged, diabetic inspector who is often up against both criminals and his own demons. ![]() ![]() ![]() and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. ![]() and more.ĭid he think she was mad?

You're not necessarily missing much, the parts that were cut out are pretty dull, but I thought I would mention it. Byock's is fine too but large parts of the work are excised, which is bizarre given how specialized the interest in the Eddas has become. In my opinion the best is Faulkes' "Edda". There are a ton of versions of the Prose Edda. I have heard there are some inaccuracies and missteps, but I don't have the expertise to comment on that. It is much clearer than Hollander's, but not of much value as a work of poetry. I haven't yet read it in full, I put a few hours into reading it and it basically struck me as unremarkable. There's also more recent translation by Carolyne Larrington. Its primary flaw is occasional obscurity, and like most verse translations, the voice of the translator sometimes overwhelms the voice of the original author. ![]() The translation is almost a century old at this point, and some of the word choices are archaic or pretentious, but I would say the general run of opinion is the that the Hollander translation is the best. ![]() He was a minor poet in his own right and was basically able to preserve the original form of the Edda, at the cost of some awkward or incongruous language. The earlier is by Lee Hollander, who was a professor of Germanic Studies at UT. There are two widely-available versions of the Poetic Edda. ![]() Recruiting Young Love by Mark D.
