A Los Angeles Times Favorite Book of the Year for 2005.Gregory Rabassa's influence as a translator is tremendous. His translations of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude and Julio Cortazar's Hopscotch have helped make these some of the the most widely read and respected works in world literature. (Garcia Marquez was known to say that the English translation of One Hundred Years was better than the Spanish original.) In If This Be Treason: Translation and Its Dyscontents, Rabassa offers a cool- headed and humorous defense of translation, laying out his views on the translator's art. Anecdotal and always illuminating, Rabassa traces his career from a boyhood on a New Hampshire farm, his school days "collecting" languages, the two and a half years he spent overseas during WWII, and his South American travels, until one day "I signed a contract to do my first translation of a long work Cortazar's Hopscotch] for a commercial publisher." Additionally, Rabassa offers us his "rap sheet," a consideration of the various authors and the over 40 works he has translated. This long-awaited memoir is a joy to read, an instrumental guide to translating, and a look at the life of one of its great practitioners.

Could be dangerous for smaller dogs
Color: Multicolour20
Most of the toys seem to be great,
I have a yorkshire terrier and I noticed that on some of the toys that have small nubs and prices that he can focus on he is chewing off and eating which is not good for his little body so just be careful and pay attention to how they are using the toys so you don't end up at the vet with a problem you didn't expect

Great assortment at a low price!
Color: Multicolour20
Keeping a puppy engaged in toys can be rough but my puppy LOVES the assortment of toys that were included in this box! She is teething and the durability of the toys have held up well. The rubber materials are soft on her teeth and the rope toys appease her tug of war moments. Would 100% recommend for anyone looking for a good deal on toys.

Don’t leave your dog unsupervised with these!
Color: Multicolour20
Some of the toys I noticed break apart easily. I got these for my 4 month old puppy and they are definitely not chew resistant but he had so much fun playing with them. Some toys squeak. The toys are super cute but I don’t recommend letting your dog play with them without supervising because it can definitely be a choking hazard with how easily he tore them up. He normally doesn’t tear toys up easy so I won’t be buying again but he had fun with it while it lasted. Most toys had to be thrown away within 2-3 weeks.
