    Any modern translations? I find all German language works translated into English in the 1800s, that I have attempted to read, to be shitty. They are just terrible translations. English changed and scholars have gotten better at translating.

      I read the Peter North/Paul Reitter translation last year and the forward goes into some details of how they translated it. It was my first read and it so thoroughly blew me away that I quickly consumed Vol2 and 3 of the Samuel Moore/Edward Aveling translations. North/Reitter are working on Vol2/3 with no ETA. Hope this helps!
