The winner of LitWit Challenge 5.2: Airing out Jane Eyre is…
coffeecrumble for her faux-Victorian Tagalog rendition of the first 770 words of Jane Eyre, Chapter 1. We noted some confusion in the use of “ng” and “nang” but on the whole we think Ms Charlotte Bronte would approve of coffeecrumble’s faithfulness to the text. The winner will receive two volumes of Penguin Readers Collected Classics and a copy of Wuthering Bites, the vampire version of the novel by Ms Bronte’s sister Emily.
roseriver sent in a more musical translation of the first chapter, but altered the tone and presentation of the all-important first sentence. For her fine work she will receive a copy of our favorite Jane Austen work Persuasion, and Colson Whitehead’s coming of age novel, Sag Harbor.
micvindelmer’s Jane Eyre had us at “Witchikik kami makarampa noonching araw na yoonchi.” For the best entry in baklese he/she will get this curiosity:
