Is it worthwhile to learn Spanish to read just Don Quixote, Borges' Ficciones, Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude and Bolanos' 2666 and Savage Detectives?

yeah.
But you will also be able to read the goat literature of the last century.
Spanish is a peasant language. French, Italian or even Portuguese are better.
>>7386151
yes, and a lot more
to name a few more:
Pablo Neruda
Vargas Llosa
Cortàzar
Onetti
totally worrth it, and if you already know french or portuguese it's a lot easier
>>7386269
or italian
>>7386151
yes, we have a nice collection of books.
but pls stay away from latino threads on /int/ argies are fucking trash, literally /b/ level of garbage.
>>7386151
Spanish is the only way to read Don Quijote
OHYoS and Bolaño's stuff are translatable
Ficciones, although not as enjoyable as in spanish, it's translatable
>>7386151
Hell yeah. In terms of quantity, Spanish is the best literature language after English. You can read authors from:
-Spain
-Argentina
-Chile
-Mexico
-Colombia
-Peru
No. Quixote is awful. A crude and cruel old book.

I like you.

I read English and Spanish, and IMO Borges' academic prose lends itself well to translation. I don't feel that much if anything is lost in the English. Can't say for the others.
>>7387749
i mean i agree generally but stories like el sur cant properly be translated

I learned Japanese just to read lesbian comic books.

Whenever I see a photograph of Nabakov I get the feeling in my eyes that one gets immediately after waking up.
ARRIBA ESPAÑA HOSTIA
>>7387863
The feeling of wanting to kill yourself?

JODER ARRIBA FRANCO

You get the feeling of wanting to kill yourself in your eyes? I mean a heavy, rough dryness.
