As an Argentine I’m very happy to see Martín Fierro on your shelf! I will make one recommendation to you (since I’m also part Polish) Adam Mickiewicz wrote Poland’s national epic poem called Pan Tadeusz. Maybe you have heard of it. I think you would really enjoy that one!

[@Orpheuslament]

Thanks for the recommendation - it is on my list to read.

[@estebanmejia3473]

Please don't forget to show us the rest hahaha

Have you read your copy of "Nightmare Abbey" by Peacock? It is so different from anything else written at that time. What a varied period of writing, just before the Victorians. "The Temptation of Saint Anthony" is an insane book. It is wildly imaginative. Mahler's a good choice. I have a hard time choosing a composer. I have favorite pieces. Prokofiev's 2nd Piano Concerto, Chopin's cycle of Ballades and Satie's Gnossiennes are all tempting contenders. Whenever I sit down to listen to Mahler, I recall a line from my favorite novel, J R, which runs, "took Kurt Weill, left me Mahler." It's a line from one of the many great monologues in that dialogue-heavy masterpiece.

Im surprised I don’t see Bruno Schulz here, given your taste for more obscure authors

[@Orpheuslament]

I read The Street of Crocodiles but don't happen to have a copy at the moment.

[@BlindCentipede]

Have you read Rabelais? I think I might have missed it being mentioned in one of your video

[@Orpheuslament]

I've been on the hunt for the Urquhart translation for a while but have been unlucky.

[@BlindCentipede]

@ I am lucky enough to be able to read Gargantua in its original( side by side with the modern retranslating) with a help of a dictionary.

[@Houdingplaces]
