Hope you enjoy it. It's a rollicking fun read.  But it may  
depend on the translator.

That's a good edition. It provides historical background. The  
PROLOGUE is essential reading, as that is by the author.

But.. yeah.. there is a lot of "educational" material!

Hope you enjoy it!  My first exposure to it in my teenager  
years was a hardcover illustrated version that was left in my  
house by a guest. It was a very interesting discovery.  :D
