more than adequate

Leivick's complete play is available in a new translation by Joachim Neugroschel if it's important that you need to study the original. This version, published for use by theatrical troups, however, is a workable abridgement that I've successfully used in the classroom as part of my course on the literature of artificial intelligence. Depending upon your needs, this significantly less expensive paperback may be more suitable than the hardback unabridged edition by Neugroschel.
