SPOILERS FOR THE WHOLE SERIES!
Here's the blurb:
Praised by fans and critics worldwide, R. Scott Bakker has become one of the most celebrated voices in fantasy literature. With The Great Ordeal, Bakker presents the long-anticipated third volume of The Aspect-Emperor, a series that stands with the finest in the genre for its grandiose scope, rich detail, and thrilling story.
As Fanim war-drums beat just outside the city, the Empress Anasurimbor Esmenet searches frantically throughout the palace for her missing son Kelmomas. Meanwhile and many miles away, Esmenet’s husband’s Great Ordeal continues its epic march further north. But in light of dwindling supplies, the Aspect-Emperor’s decision to allow his men to consume the flesh of fallen Sranc could have consequences even He couldn’t have foreseen. And, deep in Ishuäl, the wizard Achamian grapples with his fear that his unspeakably long journey might be ending in emptiness, no closer to the truth than when he set out.
The Aspect-Emperor series follows Bakker’s Prince of Nothing saga, returning to the same world twenty years later. The Great Ordeal follows The Judging Eye and The White-Luck Warrior, and delivers the first half of the conclusion to this epic story. Returning to Bakker’s richly imagined universe of myth, violence, and sorcery, The Aspect-Emperor continues to set the bar for the fantasy genre, reaching new heights of intricacy and meaning.

How much prep should I do before taking on the big boss here .
High school education.
Eco, Joyce, Schwaller de Lubicz
I just finished the rainbow yesterday. It will be disorienting because thats its design, and wont be like anything like youve read before, but if you're an experienced reader you'll be up to the task. Also read it slowly, what he does to language is really unbelievable. It is very cerebral and deliberate and chaotic, get lost in its labyrinth. Lot 49 and V are unnecessary, if anything start with GR.
I read that Heinrich Schliemann, while excavating in Greece, learned Greek by comparing a French book with a Greek translation. He said after the first attempt he knew half the words, and after the second attempt he knew all of them, and that he only bothered to learn a little bit of grammar (he said schoolchildren were taught grammar for 8 years to little or no effect)
Apparently as a businessman he made it a point to learn the language of every country he did business with, and knew over 10 of them.
What do you think of Schliemann's method?
>>8283043
Schliemann was an eccentric. He actually named his kid Agamemnon.
He was also a notorious liar. The story is probably an exaggeration at best.
>>8283048
He also read from Homer during his son's baptism.

I started with the Greeks but why do they keep calling this guy Ulysses? I thought that was a meme book not a Greek hero.
>>8282887
Just in case this isn't bait and someone legitimately needing help, Ulysses was the Roman name for Odysseus. The 'meme book' is modeled after the Odyssey, but set in early 20th century dublin. It's not just a meme, though, it's widely celebrated as a great accomplishment in Western Literature.
You picked the wrong translation
>>8282972
Why would the Roman names be used instead of the Greek ones?
