Q: How much is lost in translating a work of literature?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'BʀɪᴇɴTL;DR: How much is lost in translating a work of literature, and similarly, what more is gained by reading the source work?

Q: Should The Table of Ranks be used as a reference while reading The Nose?

BenjaminIn The Nose by Nikolai Gogol, Gogol references many times various ranks as had been established in The Table of Ranks. Given this, should The Table of Ranks be used as a reference while reading The Nose? What impact does it have on the understanding of the complete work?
