If it was originally written in English and you read it in Polish, sure. However, I noticed that the one you linked to doesn't indicate anything about a translator or that it was translated from one language to another. If GR doesn't indicate this, you should ask for help from a librarian to get the edition you read fully indicated.

The question is really not whether the myths were originally told in another language, but whether the book was written in another language. I think Edith Hamilton wrote in English.

Looks good, Alexsandra! Since that's there, it will be easier for Kristi to see that it's a translator.

That's fine. The English edition shows that it was translated, so clearly must have been written in a language other than English......and I assume you're reading it in English!

I'm in a bit of the same boat with a book translated from English to French.
I would like to read La momie by Anne Rice.
The translator is not listed, however is it clear enough as it is or do I need to contact someone about that? I'm still fairly new to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ so if I need to contact someone about updated details, how do I go about that?
Thank you!

You'll need to have something added to show that this was translated. You can post in the GR librarian thread, or in our own SRC thread for librarian help. http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/3....
Our SRC members are the BEST about helping get these book listings straight for use in the challenge.
