I've been trying to read Faust for 2 days but I just can't...I feel like I'm missing something by reading the translation because there are about half a page of footnotes on each page and I'm constantly going up and down while reading but still the story doesn't make any sense for me.It's so over for ustranslationbros...
Just read.
>>23618442>reading footnotes for poetryIt is indeed over
>>23618442How does someone actually stoop down so low so as to read (((translations)))? If you weren't a pea-brained consoomer, with the small investment of 10 years, you could be reading French, Spanish, Latin, Italian, German, Greek and Russian fluently. This gives you coverage of most of the western canon and most books you would want to read. Why more people don't do this is beyond me. After a certain point too, most of the time you spend learning these languages is just reading literature in them anyways
>>23618442I hate translations so much it's unrealDon't waste your time anonLearn German NOW
