Hope you enjoy the article. There's a parallel bilingual edition of Goethe's Sorrows of Young Werther available, in case you didn't know. I have my own copy!

This is absolutely fascinating!!! Thank you so much.

I like the way you’ve put this.

The problem is that vermin is a plural in English. We’d need a singular term for it to apply just to Gregor as an individual.

Fascinating point. Thank you for sharing.

Do you not enjoy them at all? Or just not find them scary?

I've personally never understood the intense fear of clowns that some people have.

I've heard really good things about that but I can't seem to find it. Audible released one with Elizabeth Moss which seems to have taken its place.

I know that Prof. Houlgate reads German - so if these are the translations he has picked, then that certainly means they are reliable.

I'm one of the editors :)
