Absolutely loved this. I chose the first part of this trilogy to present in my French class as part of an assignment and this video really came through. Thankyou for your efforts! ❤
Ben ilk ‘Dün’ kitabını okuyup etkilenmiştim. Diğer üçlemeyi henüz okumadım, en sona saklamayı düşünüyorum :) sevdiğim yazarların en iyi eserlerini hemen tüketmek istemiyorum, umarım okuyabilmek nasip olur 🙃
That this novel was composed and originally published in French makes it a specimen of French literature, despite its author's origins and the setting and themes of her story.
The Notebook is my favorite book of all time. I read the trilogy back in high school and, just like you, it blew me away. I’ve been learning French for a year and I already purchased the book in French to read it in the language it was originally written; waiting for it to ship. So excited! And so happy to see more people that love this book as much as I did. Great job with the analysis 👍
I've been spending a little time learning Hungarian in order to talk to relatives I have out there better, and it's definitely different! I'm glad I have some experience with Latin and Greek, because Hungarian has at least as many declensions for nouns 😅
I've read that Hungarians take pride in the widely perceived impenetrability of their language, and it certainly helps them stand out among their neighbors, as pointed out by our host here, who all speak quite different, and assumedly unrelated, languages of the Indo-European family. The occasional times I've heard recorded Hungarian, I'm struck by how unlike it sounds from its Slavic and Germanic neighbors.
When I was looking for novels from each language/country I was recommended "Kaddish for an Unborn Child" by Imre Kertész for Hungary. It turned out to be too depressing for me to get more than a few pages in though...
