I refuse to read translations, I read everything in its original language even if I don't speak it. I have read the entirety of Les misérables in French, Divine Comedy in Italian, Don Quijote in Spanish and Brothers Karamazov in Russia, without understanding a single word. fuck translations and fuck english, that is all I have to say
