I'm finding this video several months after you posted this. I picked up this book at my library today not knowing anything about it, I immediately wanted to seek out videos on it. I'm glad it led me to your channel.

Great video, I'm really keen to read it! The only other author from Cameroon I have read so far is Francis Bebey.

Lost in translation...!!!...150 years ago...feudal Ethiopia.

Wow, this video is incredibly well-made! 👏 Your explanations are clear and engaging, making even complex topics easy to understand. Keep up the great work-looking forward to your next video!

Reading a book from every country in the world is a great idea… I wanted to do that with music artists. This sounds like a cool book, too. Maybe I’ll check it out.

I have a short video about a story of ancient Hawaii about teachers of healing who arrived. I’ve been studying the modern Hawaiian language and found this story told in an older language.

UA-cam put you in my feed. So I’m giving a full watch and like and comment - so you won’t be screaming into the void forever. I talk into the void but so far, not promoted. 😂

UA-cam showed me this! Great channel, I've just subscribed :)

Your videos are very good and your editing skills are excellent, but your videos are not reaching many people. The main reason for this is that your videos are not SEO optimized. I am a UA-cam video SEO expert and would like to optimize your videos. Are you interested in this?

To what you said about BookTube being quite Anglocentric: I think it's quite telling that "translated fiction" or "fiction in translation" has become synonymous to "books that are not originally written in English". I hate those two expressions 😅

Good Job, Appreciate it

So excited to have you for pickpongathon. Hope the prompts helped you with your possibility pile. Some amazing unique books on your list excited to see what you think.

Nice listen

This book is actually the present reality of life in rural areas, like in a third world country or an underdeveloped country like Nepal, how health facilities aren't good enough! And people doctor nurses are rude, but there are also good human beings so it's basically life, it's part of the same coin, at one side you get good people, and on the other side there aren't as good as we want them to be! As the book said we don't care about others because we don't know about them, even in the hospital no one is going to care about other patients as we don't connect with them, and we don't know about them. And it presents a father son relationship as, pure because in countries like Nepal, we aren't as open to our fathers, we see them as hero or some imaginative figure, we know that they love us, but they won't actually show us, that they love us, I don't know if I am making sense in this one!😅 I just finished the book and I am from Nepal, so I read it in its original language! So I think I got it well! Like it shows the time of Maoist insurgency in Nepal, when Nepal was going through a rough time, people were dying, and just like in the book,friend of his became a Maoist because the system failed him, they presented his result wrong, his dream and wish were shattered, so he chose his way. And like the sister's friend she was buried alive, even when the doctor tried to help that girl, her family refused, she died or we can say killed. So the book is actually just life, you can find good, you can find bad, life goes on. I really appreciate you reading a book, it's nice to see people from abroad actually reading Nepali literature.

It's fundamentally elitist and I don't understand why people today who very much aren't elites are so attached to it.

WOW. I didn't know a Norwegian translation of this book existed. But I'm glad it does. If you're interested, there is a song made by Ethiopian artist "Teddy Afro" called "Mar eske tuaf", which was inspired by this book. Also, currently a series adaptation is on the works in Ethiopia.

Thank you for this! I am one of her granddaughters. She passed away last month.

The Nobel Prize is often given to the strangest people. It demeans the reputation of the prize. Bob Dylan is ridiculous. Kipling was a huge literary figure and deserved to win. Everything he wrote is eminently entertaining and tells a lot about the times in which he lived.

Hope you're having a fun month!

Thankyou for joining in with Shorty September! This is such an interesting tbr! So much good stuff - would love to hear how you find the Kate Roberts and look forward to the vlogs! Siân

Yay, another Agatha Christie fan! I'm happy to learn of this readathon. Hopefully I'll be able to participate.

Great informative video 👍

I'll explain what bothers me about people who live in glass houses built by experts who persist in throwing stones instead of starting with some research.

What about the fact that he was illiterate and he didn’t write anything on his will that says he’s a writer and also no one found any school evidence or learning evidence. Also his children were illiterate as well so it’s kinda bizarre

Thank you for this!

Thanks, I love the analysis

You are quite right, of course. The heart of the Anti-Stratfordian position is snobbery. It's also worth remembering that Shakespeare wrote a play where he gives (land-locked) Bohemia a sea-coast, and two plays set in Venice where he doesn't mention the canals. Whomever wrote the plays wasn't this all-knowing genius that the Anti-Stratfordians claim. (The cherry on top is that Shakespeare cheerfully plagiarised other works floating around at the time. He was building on what was already there, not inventing everything from scratch).

Is Sult still a part of the Norsk literary canon, or did Pedersen's support for Germany get him fired from that job?

Brilliant work! Keep it up!

I just checked 'Jenny' by Sigrid Undset on goodreads and it sounds very interesting. I would love to read it someday.

I have read 10 of those books! But many of them are on my TBR.

Have you read any Sigrid Undset?

I used to have a list of books that were turned into better movies. I remember The Prestige being nowhere near as good as the movie. Children of Men was much better than the book. Fight Club was infinitely better than the book. Sideways the film was better. Adaptation was much better than The Orchid Thief, but that wasn't really an adaptation of the book, in spite of the name. I can't think of any others right now.

You start off by being completely wrong. William Shakespeare was VERY WELL KNOWN in his day. But as a poet, not as an actor, and not as a playwrite until later. Venus & Adonis was published in 1593, and went through at least 4 printings. The Rape of Lucrece followed soon after, and was nearly as successful. Plays that were later credited to William Shakespeare were being printed at that time, but anonymously. It wasn't until 1598 that Meres declared that previously published plays were actually by Shakespeare, and that Shakespeare was a great playwrite. After that time, published plays bore the author's name.

AWESOME!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alas, only 56 out of 305 (18%) for me! That said, I think you're right that some of what draws us to bookshelf tours is that need for connection; indeed, it's part of what draws me to reading itself. As that famous line from Shadowlands goes, "We read to know we're not alone." However, I also enjoy watching book hauls, bookshelf tours, and wrap ups (other than for just appreciating pretty covers) because they often introduce me to books I wouldn't otherwise have discovered - something, incidentally, that has also drawn me to your channel! You've taken it down a different path to the usual booktube channels with more critical analysis which is something that I find terribly interesting to listen to, even if you focus on work that I wouldn't normally pick up (e.g., Flatland). Love what you do; I hope you keep it up.

Great video! You really made me want to reread it. The only mathematical reference that I really got from Alice in Wonderland was when they are at a tea party and it says that they move around the table each day so the Mad Hater always eats at a clean spot, it struck me as the analogy to a hotel to show that the naturals and the naturals plus one has the same size.

I really enjoyed this video. Agreed, North and South is so brilliant and Gaskell writes such a wonderful variety of work. I seriously need to read Flatland.

Interesting point on translated literature. I feel like the point in reading books in translation, is the idea that we are reading something we couldn't read if it was only in its original language. The point would be more about reading books around the world and not focus on the same books everyone else reads. I started focusing on books in translation when I noticed that 50% of the books I have read are by American authors (and I'm not American). I feel I can gain more from reading books that were originally in another language. I think you should be promoting non-English books as well as books that you have to read that are translated.

wooooooow that s fantastic

Gratulerer med fantastisk booktube
