I'm looking for the best English translation of 'Mother Courage and Her Children'
Can anyone recommend? Injustice can be done to a story by bad translations, and would like to get it as a gift for someone. Thanks very much

Hey Tundra, if you're talking about the Brecht play - it's available in English and I'm sure you can find it at the big bookstore in Dubai Mall (Kinokunya or something next to Virgin). I have a copy that I bought a couple of years ago in English, the translation is very good - I can have a look at the publisher when I get home. I have a very badly translated copy of War and Peace - TERRIBLE!! Good luck x <em>edited by commentator2012 on 10/12/2014</em>
