as good as it is in english with more arguable "contextual immersion." i've never understood this shit with western novels. with latin, russian, japanese etc or something, i get it, but western languages have equivalancies for almost everything, even older ones. it's just pretentious literary scholars that overromanticize shit like this because it hives them an excuse to feel worldly about reading a book that millions have already read in multiple languages.
