desertcart.com: Bakkhai: 9780811227100: Carson, Anne, Euripides: Books Review: Translated by Anne Carson - The Bacchae is a brief and puzzling play. It's built around Bacchus/Dionysius who, as the god of getting blackout drunk and wrecking things, is always assumed to be deeper and more thoughtful than he appears to be, here. It's the people who are confused and conflicted, and end badly. This is the first translation of this play that I've read in fifty years, since there was a late-sixties wave of performances. I don't remember it as having been this good. Review: pretty good :) - it has a nice textured matte cover and the art looks really good. it has a slight bend in the pages but not too bad. the formatting of the play is really cool and the words are nice and clear. overall good quality :)
