That would be 11/10 if not for the checkered border
Still a nice looking copy though

I actually like the checkered border, as long as it's clean.

So fucking what, you piece of shit? I read him in Portuguese and believe me, apart from the poetry (loltranslatingpoetry) you can easily read The Book of Disquiet in English and still get a lot out of it. Stop being a typical monolingual American who justifies only reading shitty novels due to this fact.

Bro, if you were capable of getting lost in a simple context like this you probably belong in another board, like /v/ or /b/

Pessoa wrote in English, you pleb. Proust read Ruskin in translation. Rilke read most poets in translation.
I didn't finished GR, kek, although I just bought IV today for 84 MXN.
>>7335252
Porrúa master and glorious race, though.

Pessoa wrote like 5 poems in English so that still doesn't excuse reading him in translation.
Get your weight up pleb.

thats what I'm trying to say but /lit/ retards like you and >>7335959 can't get a simple message
I've posted writers /lit/ talks about and all are translations, but when someone post about reading pynchon/joyce/dfw in any language other than english you can aways count with someone shitting the thread
I'm just trying to show hypocrisy in this board
>>7335959
>mfw another brazilian with underdog complex starts saying shit near me
Pessoa's rhythm and wordplay are essential for full enjoyment of his works, you do know literature isn't just about the message, don't you? Holy shit, this is why I hate brazilians on the internet, you can barely hide your self-loathing
>getting triggered by translation meme baiters
literally none of these anon who shitpost this meme on /lit/ know ancient greek. they are all translationfags who read the greeks in translation just like everyone else. they read poetry in translation because they read the odyssey in translation. this is all just bait shit. don't allow yourself to get rustled over easy baits.

Demonstrably false.
>>7336018
How is the translation?
I am considering buying the spanish translation instead of download the ebook and read it in english.
>>7336968
Porrúa, Editores Mexicanos Unidos, Colofón, Tomo y Ediciones Leyenda son los GOATs

Did you even read my post?

>Tomo
kek no.
>Porrúa
En lo personal, soy un gran fan de esta editorial en cuanto a textos mexicanos se refiere, pero he escuchado muchas críticas sobre sus traducciones.
>>7338045
It's OK. The book is very technical, so there are lot of words with just perfect translation into Spanish that you can really feel the Pychon essence, besides some word-puns.
