Thanks for doing my tag, David. You have some beautiful book editions. Your gems sound interesting. 20 years to finish a book. Must have been a labour of love. 😊💙

I appreciate your choice to not denigrate any book. For every reader that dislikes a book there are plenty who enjoy it so I wish Booktube would use its platform only to promote literature.

You have talked me into Buddenbrooks and Oblomov. Am looking forward to that life and times of a lazy slug.

Thanks for the comment, - I hope you'll enjoy both novels (I did).

Good day, David. Buddenbrooks was the first Mann novel I read. Admired him ever since. In time I learned that Gore Vidal and Carlos Fuentes, two important writers to me, counted him as an influence. I have some unread Gautier books, but not the ones you mentioned. Oblomov as well. Maybe this year I'll get to them.Best to you from Texas.

Am now reading The World of Yesterday by Stefan Zweig. In it I'm inhabiting your part of the world a hundred years ago. So powerful and horrible a story of the time and the author. And thanks to you I read The Tin Drum recently.

I hope you enjoyed Oskar Matzerath's tale. On Stefan Zweig: if you like his writing style, I'd recommend his novella 'The Royal Game', sometimes also titled 'Chess Story'.

Thank you for bringing these connections (Vidal, Fuentes) to my attention! Later this year I'll start a long-term close reading project of Thomas Mann's "Magic Mountain" to celebrate the 100th anniversary of this great novel (about one sub-chapter per week, so it'll take about a year...). Best regards from Germany, - David.

Is it difficult to find? I think I saw a kindle-version recently...

Lieber David, ich habe gerade entdeckt, dass Gontscharows „Die Schlucht“ im Projekt Gutenberg vertreten ist, so wie auch „Oblomow“. Hin und wieder lese ich auch digital, auch wenn dies nur ein Abklatsch des Vergnügens ist, ein echtes Buch in Händen zu halten. Für mich ist das aber oft trotzdem eine Möglichkeit, ältere Bücher zu lesen, da ich extrem an Allergie gegen zu alte Buchausgaben bzw deren Bücherstaub leide. Dann eben lieber digital als gar nicht… 🤷‍♀️

Liebe Gaby, das ist ja prima. Meine Empfehlung wäre, mit Oblomow zu starten um festzustellen, ob Gontscharow etwas für Dich ist. "Die Schlucht" ist ja eine nochmal deutlich dickere Schwarte. Noch besser für den Einstieg in die Gontscharow-Lektüre ist meiner Meinung nach "Eine alltägliche Geschichte" (alternativer Titel: Eine gewöhnliche Geschichte"), ist auch nochmal etwas kürzer, und wurde noch vor Oblomow geschrieben. Leider nicht bei Gutenberg verfügbar. LG, David
