Que mierda de portada.

Espero que cuando lo acabes lo vendas o lo regales.
>>
>>8026409
So you don't read any books written in the 18th century unless the original language was English? No Voltaire, Goethe, Rousseau, Kant, etc?
>>
>>8026409
No but a lot of them have their slang language and some language-only aspects too, and people do read it translated nonetheless.
>>
>>8026438
La quieres?
>>
>>8026439
I speak english, german, spanish, french and russian
>>
>>8026439
Not that faggot. But if the original language is french I read it in spanish. If its german I read it in English.

lel

But really now, does Spanish lit have the sorts of literary traditions that M&D is pastiche&parody-ing? French lit does, but I had a look at the french translation and it doesn't work desu
>>
>>8026417
Shit cover
>>
>>8026344
reading M&D in spanish is like reading Don Quijote in english
