Change the record, Brontë

The Guardian returns once again to an all-time favourite of snobbism: the book is better than the film:

Whereas, if you watch the film first, the book loses its page-turning power, because we see it all coming: the Hogwarts Express; the Wizard of Oz’s unmasking; Boo Radley saving the day. But you don’t see cinephiles tossing literary classics from their shelves: “Yeah, yeah, there’s a mad woman in the attic. Change the record, Brontë … ” (Henry Yates)

Estadão (Brazil) and 'creative' translations of the original titles of novels:

Morro dos Ventos Uivantes, da Emily Bronte, por exemplo, não tem nada a ver com o título original, Wuthering Heights. Foi obra de algum tradutor ou editor criativo. Mas já ficou de tal modo associado que vai até causar dificuldade de reconhecer a obra. Entendo quem se queixa, mas nesse caso foi uma decisão certa, valeu a pena mudar.
