Thread 24851388

Has anyone finished this book? The First part was great but the second part Is really disappointing the whole Makeba/Solomon love story Is really annoying almost as much the Letter to Mother sections. I barely got trough It but the third part still has those sections and the story Just gets less and less exciting.

>>24851388 (OP)

anyway the book doesnt have an english translation so no one here has read it

also i have the newer purple edition which is aesthetically superior

What are your thoughts so far?
Is It hard to read in original language ?(I've heard that he uses a lot of archaic words)

I have italian edition btw

>What are your thoughts so far?
it's alright, the end of the chapter where he looks inside the ark was great, some mindfuck imagery like the giant glowing wheel rising from the ocean, i still dont know what that was all about

>Is It hard to read in original language ?(I've heard that he uses a lot of archaic words)
that he does but since i happen to know russian and most of archaic words were of slavic origin later replaced by french words in the "relatinization" of romanian, i understand them perfectly
