"The translation of this bilingual edition of La Rochefoucauld's Reflexions ou sentences et maximes morales (long known in English simply as the Maxims) is the first to appear in forty years. It is completely new and aims - unlike all previous versions - at being as literal as possible. This involves, among other things, rendering the same word - for example, amour-propre as "self-love" - as consistently throughout as good sense allows.
