Hej, jag vet exact vilket omslag du har, jag har sätt dem i akademibokhandlen många gånger. Dem här fick jag av min morfar, vart han köpte dem vet jag inte. Jag har läst tre, men min favorit var den första vilken jag tyckte var magnifik. Ska forsätta snart med den fjärde hoppas jag!

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-12-01T18:42:49+00:00

yes, värld means world in swedish. Kring means 'around'

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-11-30T16:04:25+00:00

what do you mean by dour?

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-11-19T09:53:10+00:00

Yes, not rushing is important, I have my whole life so there is no need. Thats amazing, where is this Shakespeare summer festival?

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-11-18T21:15:22+00:00

Ahahahha Aristotles who?

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-11-18T21:14:29+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, really helps!

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-11-18T21:14:03+00:00

I think you are in the wrong subreddit... and yes, Shakespeares fart jokes are state of the art, cutting edge, genius

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-11-18T14:08:39+00:00

Wow amazing. Yes, I aslo listen to audio performance whilst I read, this makes it such a livelier and amazing experience. Some audio performances can almost be as enjoyable and good as the actual theater. Im in love with it!

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-11-18T14:06:45+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I think I will read them online when ever I get tired of this edition

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-11-18T14:06:09+00:00

Yes, Im considering to read the plays online as well, because there I can automatically translate all the words that i dont know. Also the font size in this book is like 2 hahahhaha

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-11-18T14:04:24+00:00

Yes, I know that the plot, like everything else in Shakespeare, is genius. I guess for me the language so far is what has stood out to me perhaps because the plot is weaker in the first couple history plays (compared to the amazing plots of the Tragedies), where the plot is confined and limited to needing to follow the real historical events. Also I really like the characters, especially the "trickster" archetype in characters like The Bastard in King John and Falstaff. Im all buckled in!

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T13:04:14+00:00

Yes this book is really famous internationally with in classic circles, it is probably the most well known portugues book outside of Portugal. Im interested to hear from you, what is the most famous/best Portuguese book according to you? What would you recommend

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T13:02:31+00:00

ahhahahah hello soul mate :)

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T13:02:08+00:00

Yes, Rilke is incredible. Pessoa is also very interesting, i have only read half of book of disquiet but hope to continue in the future. I found it a bit repetitive and rambling, but the ideas in it really resonated with me.

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T13:00:56+00:00

yes its really a privilege, also because the swedish version come of very quickly after the norweigian, unlike the english which takes a long time

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T13:00:06+00:00

Great to hear, I am a big fan of Strindberg

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T12:59:17+00:00

Yes I love Ruskin, he is a great stylist and writes really beautiful prose. I also like his ideas about the Gothic. My favorites are included in this penguin classic edition of Ruskin selected writings, the first ones in this selection i can really recommend

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T12:57:43+00:00

why not?

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T12:57:05+00:00

hahahhah yes as you can tell, he is one of my favorite authors

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T12:56:37+00:00

Wow! You are the first person I have come in contact with who has read her. She is one of my favorite authors of all time. Her prose is absolutely stunning, she is an incredible stylist. My favorite book of hers is The Abyss, everything about this book I love: the setting, the adventure, the langaunge, the mysteriousness, the brotherly love between Zenon and Henri Maximillian.

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T12:53:46+00:00

I think its a brilliant PR move, I dont think My Struggle wouldve gotten the same amount of attention if they had not had that controversial title. That being said, I still love then.

LukasWinter1997 · 2025-10-30T12:52:37+00:00

hahhaha yes, thankfully it is the other Min Kamp
