i'm pretty obsessed with your channel these days...
SAME she's all i've been watching the past few weeks 💆♀️
Same
Excuse me. Where is she from?
Me too 🙈❤️
The way she’s essentially all I watch anymore 😌
1:45 i absolutely love that transition from clair de lune to that other piano piece, so stunning!✨🍵🌻🌼🌺🌷⚘
your content makes such a difference in my life and inspires me endlessly thank you!!!!!
💙💙💙
If you ever want to read the work of an Indian author, I highly recommend The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. It's not translated, and is originally written in English.
I have that one on my list, I've heard it's absolutely breathtaking, thank you so much for the recommendation
I'm reading it currently. Absolutely in awe ❤️ such mesmerizing language.
I'm brazilian and Clarice Lispector is BY FAR my favourite author of all times. She changed my life and I am so grateful for her work existing. Glad to see you are reading a book by her :) If you want a recommendation, "Near to the wild heart" is her first novel and it is probably my favourite book! Also, all of her short stories are AMAZING! I'm currently reading her biography and it is very interesting bc her work is really autobiographical, so really recommend Why this World, by Benjamin Moser (her biography). :))
My heart!!!!!!! Clarice is the air of the brazilian readers!
I highly recommend Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None". That one totally give me the chills and creeps. I also loved her Death on the Nile, it was really fantastic, and I'm also looking forward to its movie adaptation that might be out this November(?) or next year. The casts (also) looks promising btw.
Journey by Moonlight by Antal Szerb is one of my favorite books of all time - it is a Hungarian book with mesmerizing writing and philosophical traveling plot - of course, I have never read the translation, so I do not know so much about it, but the original is beyond everything. It is about a Hungarian man, who flees from his honeymoon, and starts to wonder in Italy - in Tuscany and Umbria - in the '30s, and starts to remember his life, and his long-lost friends, who shaped his life and personality, and the meaning of life, and how to live it. Love it, so atmospheric and beautiful! Recommend it for sure!
when you said that you're looking forward to read more of Clarice's books I couldn't stop myself from smiling. "Água Viva", if written like "água-viva", means "jellyfish", but "living water" has a deeper meaning so we let it be hahaha. I would reccomend any of her collections of short stories to start reading, but honestly? any one would do, you just have to be ready for all the intensity. I hope you have a wonderful week
i love that so much, ah language is so beautiful, I cannot wait to start reading her work! Thank you so much, you as well!
May I say portuguese is THE most beautiful language? I am grateful to speak portuguese as my first language, especially been born in Brazil because I LOVE the accents from every corner of this country!
you go queen giving us so much content!!! i’m a new subscriber and I’m literally in love with your channel. it’s so calming and i’ve been watching it a lot when I get overwhelmed with Uni work and stress
ah thank you so much, I’m so glad💛💛
Clarice is absolutely my favorite author, and água viva means jelly-fish (but in a more literal translation it would certainly be living water). Another of her works that I know there is a translation to English is passion according to H. G. and The hour of the Star!
Bless my recommendations for bringing me to this channel 🙌🏻
aaaah I can't explain how painful reading it in Arabic was, especially that it shows themes still evident in the Arab world today. Another translated Arabic work you could try is The Palace Walk by Naguib Mahfouz, people usually compare the complexity of his work to Tolstoy (I've never read any of Tolstoy's works) but you could give it a try! Also, The Prophet was originally published in English so you could experience it fully!!
I have not read Phantom of the Opera yet (it is on my list) but I do recommend Les Misérables by Victor Hugo it took me about 3-4 months to read but I HIGHLY recommend it ONLY AS UNABRIDGED, abridged books is blasphomy. I cried 3 times while reading the book, the second time I had to close the book because I almost started bawlling crying in the middle of the bus 😂.
I love your yellow raincoat!!! it gives me major Coraline vibes and I'm here for it
Your intro music legitimately made me go to the piano and start playing Chopin for almost 45 minutes straight without any breaks whatsoever 😂. 2nd year English Language and Literature major here of UCY. Love your videos. Keep up the good work! 👍 Just subscribed 😀
I'm commenting from 2022! I've been rewatching all of your autumn videos lately because they are always so beautiful and lovely. I think your reading vlogs are my favorite of anyone I follow. Thank you so much!
I always look forward to your vlogs on Sunday! They are The Coziest!!!! 💖
god, i just dropped out of uni to study english philology next year and magically, at the same time, i've also stumbled upon your channel. it's a blessing, your content is so inspiring and calming. feeling very at peace rn
It´s so good that you are talking about the importance of translation, I am studying translation and we know how difficult it is and that it takes a long time to make a translation, but people do not know that, they think it is just changing the language but it´s so much more!
Oh my days, the colouration of your video was so cosy and autumnal and just - ahh! - perfect! Also, I loved the shots of you walking through the gardens, it felt like I was there with you!
Pressing the leaves got me. So lovely.
I saw knee high socks and fall leaves and i was sold hehe, love autumn!!
Oh my gosh Emmie your channel is growing so fast... you inspire me a lot ...thank you
Oh my God!! You are such an inspiration to me, I am brazilian and I am so happy that you are reading Clarice Lispector. Her books are really great! Passion according to G.H. is amazing and the way she writes her stories and the complexity of their character's mind are really beautiful. Hope you have a good week
How BEAUTIFUL is the view you have from your window omg!! 😍😍 Soooo lucky
The mapple brown leaves took my eyes Emmie. Thank you for always sharing and makes me scream "wow".
I can't wait for my exams to be over so I can read the books you have read and maybe read along. I always find myself wanting to discuss books with you so fingers crossed that it happens soon. xx
I love your videos and i'm brazilian, seeing you reading Clarice Lispector makes my heart so warm ♡ hope you enjoy ;)
so glad ive come across your channel! love the chill peaceful vibes!😌🌻💖
i was actually just rewatching one of your old vlogs when this one popped up!!
This is such a cozy video! I live in Toronto but on December I will be moving to Kelowna BC and I am so worried that is not going to be the same crisp cozy autumn... We shall wait and see!
Ps. Your channel is growing so fast and you totally deserve it!
Ps2. I am in love with your bookshelves 🖤
CLARICE!!!!!! she is like our god here in brazil. i am so happy to see her influence growing
Since you've talked about Clarice Lispector, and I'm brazilian, I highly recommend the works of Machado de Assis, he's wonderful and I think that you'll love his books! ❤❤
I can’t say enough how much I loved this vlog!!!! Thank you for this!
Love Debussy opening💘📚 how cozy mood
Gibran's works in Arabic are phenomenal! I thought The Prophet was first written in English (because he lived in the US at that time) and then it was translated to Arabic 🤔 Might check it out later!
I don’t have Phantom of the Opera yet, but am reading We have Always Lived in the Castle!!
I have one year left at uni for nursing and seriously am thinking about switching my major to English And languages cause of you LOL
Edit:just bought The Phantom of the Opera and The Secret History 🤩
yes!! i’m a sophomore engineering student and these vlogs make me wanna switch! i always hated reading in high school but i think english classes in college would be better ❤️
My library carries a few of Khalils works, I'm now super exited to read them. I guess I'll try one of the Danish translation of The Broken Wings first.
Omg, Clarissa is just perfect! I’m so happy to see you reading a brazilian author
So Cozy, and your vlog reminds me of the Secret Garden Novel. Loved this video 💕💕
Might I recommend the Swedish vampire novel Let the Right One In! One of my favorite books especially for this season, and even if you don't have the time to read it. There's a great movie adaptation as well!
The start and end of your video is amazing please stay safe love 💖 John from Australia xx ❤️❤️ I also love the phantom of the opera
Hey, I have really fallen in love with your videos. Love your taste in music as well like the calming piano pieces. Just a suggestion: I think Pairpiano’s “Maplestory” pieces would go really well with your videos. Especially the temple of time piece. Please consider!!
Damn, such dreamy and beautiful gardens. I wish I had lived in Canada. I live in Israel. We have the beach, but not many forests or gardens...
for translated fiction ive been getting into some japanese literature! two favorites are kitchen by banana yoshimoto and kusamakura by natsume soseki 🤍
god, i love how you put clair de lune in the background!!!
There is so much Brazilian authors that you should check out! Lygia Fagundes Telles is incredible and Machado de Assis is brilliant! Of course Clarice in my opinion is the most perfect writing that I know, for me the only other author that toutches my soul the way that Carice does is Plath.
Thanks for the vlog Emma.
You go girl.
your videos make my day so much better ✨
I get so excited when you upload 😝♥️💫
Liking this video before watching because I know I'm going to love it!!!
💛
lots of love from Pakistan emmie. You're so precious please never stop uploading amazing content.
Aahh you’re reading a brazilian author, that’s so exciting!! Loved the video as always 🥰
you should check the alienist by machado de assis! he was a brazilian autor and i'm really happy to hear you plan on reading clarice lispector
this video has brought me so much peace! thank you for that
i'm so glad,
I'm so glad I found this gem of a channel.
I'm very happy to see brazilians writers been read by peoples from others countries. I have been study english a short time ago so my comment will be a little confused rsrs.
I love Clarice Lispector! The Hour of the Star was really absurd and beautiful. Yūko Tsushima is a another great non English writing author!
What a soothing intro...so relaxing and peaceful.
So, here you are again to make my day complete❤
I'm hosting a couple of readathons myself, I totally get it how crazy if can be.
Finding your channel and watching your videos has been incredible. You inspire me so much I'm actually considering opening my own channel. You're the best!
ahh that's amazing do it!!
Love your videos so much! ❤️
have you read the Memory of Fire trilogy by Eduardo Galeano? It’s a (translated from Spanish) history of the Americas from pre-colonial times until modern times, but instead of being told as a continuous prose, it’s in a series of little parts flip-flopping between different countries. I found it to be beautifully written and very engaging, like you’re being told a story and are also there at the same time. Idk if you live in Canada or the US, but in Canada the second two are available from Indigo online only (the first I had to get from amazon). They don’t need to be read in order, though, so it should be fine! They’re also very well researched and include loads of sources in the back if you’re interested in any further research, which I really appreciated
I can't tell you how excited I am for the DA readathon. I've been wanting to get to the Phantom of the Opera and no I have an excuse to do it hahaha.
Not me going back in time to watch all emmies video in reverse for comfort
White is for Witching is on my tbr! Not sure if it was my comment or someone else's but im so happy your reading it!🖤
AHH thank you!! I hope you love it!!✨
please tell me where u got your mug from !!! :O the one with the fox on it !! love your channel btw !! :)
You are a literal Disney princess 💕
Oh my!!!love your videos ❤️
Thanks so much 😊
that intro is so calming!
if you want to find translated fiction, there's this really cool website called storygraph that's basically goodreads but better (also not affiliated with amazon), and they have a translated fiction reading challenge going on at the moment! the way the website is set up, you can see what everyone else has read for each of the prompts, so it's a really fun way to find new translated literature. my personal favorite so far has been An Armenian Sketchbook by Vasily Grossman, translated from Russian of course. it's actually nonfiction, but it's very light and funny, just this old guy who's lived through Stalin's regime and a bunch of repression and censorship hanging out in Armenia and talking about his experiences there. I definitely recommend!
The montages in these videos, as ever, depict the world as it should be rather than as it is at the moment. What a lovely gift to share with your audience. Have you ever read Mary Oliver's poetry or prose? She is to me what Anne Carson is to you. Here's a small sample from her book, Upstream:
"Sometimes the desire to be lost again, as long ago, comes over me like a vapor. With growth into adulthood, responsibilities claimed me, so many heavy coats. I didn't choose them, I don't fault them, but it took time to reject them. Now in the spring I kneel, I put my face into the violets, the dampness, the freshness, the sense of ever-ness Something is wrong, I know it, if I don't keep my attention on eternity. May I be the tiniest nail in the house of the universe, tiny but useful. May I stay forever in the stream.
Attention is the beginning of devotion."
this comment is absolutely beautiful. where is that quote from? 🤍
@@sydneyvaden1175 It’s from the book Upstream by Mary Oliver. Every page of that short book has something just as lovely. One of my all-time favorites.
@@uptown3636 oh my goodness!!! thank you so much!!! this was lovely. and i’m adding this to my tbr. THANK YOU. i cannot wait to read something full of this gorgeous speech.
@@sydneyvaden1175 You are quite welcome! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 🤍
@@sydneyvaden1175 Here's another little gem to hold you over while you wait:
"I walked, all one spring day, upstream, sometimes in the midst of the ripples, sometimes along the shore . . . If this was lost, let us all be lost always. My heart opened, and opened again. I do not think that I ever, in fact, returned home."
Lovely summing up of "The Murder on the Links"
Its really cool that you want to read translations! I would highly recommend by another brazilian author: Posthumous memories of Brás Cubas by Machado de Assis. It was recently translated and it is totally brazilian dark academia 😂 Love youuuuuu
May I recommend Banana Yoshimoto? I'm obsessed with her writing.
I'd recommend "Journey by Moonlight" by Antal Szerb (Hungarian author)
Video 🌸 I hope you are doing well Emma. I love Clarice Lispector ❤️ her writing is outstanding and gorgeous. She writes beautifully, in my opinion. I hope you enjoy Agua Viva ✨ Have a fantastic day 💕
Your videos are just so serene. What song did you use when you were in the gardens? It is so beautiful
"água viva" in portuguese also means jellyfish
Love from the lake District 😍😍♥️
Wonderful, pleasant, humane, informative. Thank you.
Hey Emma, I'd recommend a collection of stories by Silvina Ocampo called Thus Were Their Faces. I think it's right up your alley. Cheers!
If you ever want to read some argentinian authors Gabriela Cabezón Cámara is an AMAZING writer; my favourite book of her is Slum Virgin, but I would recommend you to start with The adventures of the China Irón.
Also The invention of Morel by Bioy Casares is another great book full of mystery and some fantasy elements.
I'm brazilian and for sure Clarice Lispector is one of the our bests literary fiction authors! I am currently reading a book of hers I believe translate as "The Hour of the Star". I am glad to see you are interested in Brazilian fiction and I hope you enjoy it!
It's curious how a lot of people from North America and United Kingdom booktube channels I watch always refer to books from another countries as "translated fiction". I believe it's because most of what they read is fiction from their own country or at least they are reading books from another country that also speaks English. Although, here it's the opposite as most of what we read, most of what we see in the bookshops, is translated fiction, especially right from North America and United Kingdom. It is hard to find here someone that reads more national than international fiction, in fact some brazilians never have read Brazilian authors besides the mandatory school readings. Unfortunately Brazilian authors aren't as much valeued as they should be.
I recently find your channel and I've been loving your vlogs, by the way. Have a wonderful week!
this is so true! I'm Brazilian also, and Brazilian literature is my favourite of all times. it is just amazing. but I generally love other oortuguese-speaking countries' literature. idk I think besides it just being beautiful and so rich I am pretty much in love with my mother language. I keep thinking it is such a privilege to read Clarice Lispector untranslated, in all her geniality with words and language :)
@@vitoriabueno8884 Absolutely! I'm passionate about this language. I haven't read that many books from another portuguese-speaking countries but Valter Hugo Mãe it's one of my favorite authors of ALL times!
If you're interested in literary theory on the translation I just read Gayatri Spivak's article The Politics of Translation for my poetry class. And tonight I'm reading Bittersweet from Eros by Anne Carson :D It made me think of you.
The Office is life. Indubitably. 😏
Ninfas del Valle...Spirit Brides in english and everything he wrote.
I stan. We stan ❤️
Hi Emma, I'm pretty new to your channel but I have to say I am completely captivated! I have a question about classics and honestly I feel like you are the best person I could ask. (sorry if it's a little long)
I've always focused my studies on maths and sciences, but over lockdown I have really started to fall in love with just how beautiful writing can be. Your videos have inspired me to get into classics, and though I am a decently strong reader, I have always been intimidated by classics, especially the older they get. I've seen you mention in some of your videos that doing your degree has really helped you learn how to better appreciate classic books, and I truly admire the way you discuss these books in such poetic and thoughtful ways. I was wondering if you have any advice for someone who wants to begin their journey into classsic literature, or any reccomendations for good 'entry' books?
I hope this was an appropriate place to ask this question, and would like to thank you so much for your videos, they have helped open my eyes to a whole new part of the world.
in the montage of walking in the rain, I have to ask, who was filming you? just as a curiosity due to such a beautiful way they can catch the scene and feeling. very well done Emma
It's so strange to hear someone speak of translated fiction as something rare, for me it's the opposite - I always have to search and search to find English-language authors in the original version without translation 😂 Ah, the troubles of being from a non-english speaking country that translates everything.... But to recommend you some works originally written in my language (swedish): Tove Jansson - The Summer Book, Mats Strandberg & Sara Bergmark Elfgren - The Engelsfors Trilogy, John Ajvide Lidqvist - the AMAZING short story Border in the collection Let The Old Dreams Die (and obvsly his most famous book Let the right one in, but I haven't read it so can't recommend)
I‘m basically binge watching all your videos since I found your channel couple of weeks ago. 😅 But it‘s just the perfect content: books, fall and tea. 😊 May I ask a stupid question but what exactly is Classic Studies at Uni? Is it also about literature? 🙈 I‘m not really sure if we have an equivalent in Germany so I was just curious.
@Sabsile T danke!
Your yellow rain coat reminds me of Coraline! 😄
Hey! I don’t know if you’ve answered this before but what do you plan on doing with your degree after you graduate?
hello i am still watching this video however i do have a question! which online bookstore do u buy ur books from? i find it hard to really trust in online shops in general and it’s especially difficult to find a good one that sells books w/ worldwide shipping and all that jazz!!!!!
I think she uses bookdepository
Which province do you live in?(it’s mesmerizing)
Speaking of translated fiction, I think you’d like Three Comrades by Erich Maria Remarque
Love your videos 🖤
I am about to read The Phantom of the Opera in French. And when you talked about translation and the value of books in their original language I remembered that you are fluent in French so what if you try to read it in French?
I would absolutely love to, I've been meaning to find a french edition!
