Good thing you say that, Stewart. I am a great believer in not retranslating the same book endlessly, when there are so many books crying out for translation into English. If there are no major flaws in accuracy or style, translators should move on. Translations don't date that quickly. I still smile when I read that the long Pushkin poem "Evgeni Onegin" has been translated 22 times into English!
