This translation, by Constance Borde and Sheila Malovany-Chevalier, published in 2011, is the best of two available English translations from the original French and the alternative translation by H.M.Parshley in 1953 is a disgrace, which abridged, simplified and often mistranslated the original...
I am actually rereading it - this new version contains many parts of the book which were originally omitted because it might be too shocking for past readers.
