have a nice day, you attention-seeking homosexual.
blogpost board, seethe.
Are those the ones you mom bought for you? They seem pretty kino. Please post a photo of what a regular page looks like (I've never bought Pleiade)
These are a bit weird, because instead of Old French on the left page and the translation on the right page, they put the the Old French as a footnote! I like to read the Old French, so it hurts my neck and my eyes đ
Why do the French refuse to make verse translations of arthurian legends?
Every single chrétien de troyes edition that I found is in prose.
That's really the translator's decision and not the decision of the French. Also the Lancelot-Graal cycle is a prose work, so it wouldn't make sense to translate it into verse. At that point you'd be creating an original work, like when La Fontaine put Aesop into verse.
Yeah I saw now that it was a prose novel in the picture.
But that doesn't change the fact that there simply aren't any verse translations of chrétien de troyes available, which is kind of specific for the french literary culture since the most popular translations of medieval romance in english and german tend to be in verse (i'm thinking of the green knight or Eschenbach here).
Are you referring to translations into English or just into modern French? Anyway prose translations are good if you're trying to follow along in the original, which is probably the way to go for something like that.
I'm talking about translations into modern french. I just think that a lot of enjoyment of these romances is derived from the verse, since the stories themselves aren't often THAT interesting.
Ok i didn't know that. What do you think is the reason for that?
> Ok i didn't know that. What do you think is the reason for that?
Itâs not poetry for which literary people in power (publishers, translators) prioritize the form, just the content. They donât seem to really care for it like say the Homeric epics (which do have prose translations but the verse translations far outnumber them).
>I'm talking about translations into modern french
All the more reason to use the original in tandem then. It's truly, truly not that hard, just takes a little bit of patience, the lexicon used in these poems is pretty small in the first place and the changes from then to now aren't too massive. And if you were reading a poetic translation it would just be the translator's approximation anyway, you would not be getting de Troyes' actual poetry. Plus I think reading that antiquated language really helps to get into the mindset of appreciating the virtues of what are, as you say, essentially pretty simple stories.
Troyes is rarely translated into verse. The only verse translation in English that I know is Burton Raffelâs translation for Yale (in different tomes.).
the French refuse to make verse translations in general
Bummer. I have an edition of the Divine Comedy just like that (the original text as a footnote). Very annoying

How does the everyman look like without the shitty dust jacket? Can you post a picture?
NTA, but the Dosto is burgundy under the dust jacket, as with all 19th century titles. Not sure if the Iliad is mauve for ancient classics or sand for poetry, since I don't have a copy
Christ, you must be real popular here
me and my two favorite bots, hanging out...
It's mainly the Calvino that's pulling art hoe pussy for you.
I want that
Anyway what exactly are the 'albums'
At first I thought it was simply just pictures but it seems like it contains an essay/introduction?
It is an essay about the origin of the Grail legend and how it was shaped over time. The essay is illustrated with lots of pictures of Grail iconography, artwork, and art associated with the Arthurian legends. It was interesting to learn how the myth formed and evolved. Originally the grail wasn't even associated with Jesus Christ or the Last Supper.
Jesus I learned all this in a 1 hour youtube vid, the importance of bowls in pagan religion, the french guy who christianized the story, all of it
>I learned all this in a 1 hour youtube vid
I'm sure there was a lot left out
Wow dude! That is so heckin cool! I guess we should just start watching Youtube videos about books instead of reading books themselves!
I have a girlfriend and since we both have very high sex drives we bang constantly, more than even when I was young and buff and getting laid all the time. Unfortunately she also wants me to get real bookshelves instead of throwing my tomes everywhere đ
just get a bookshelf you bloody degenerate
I want to put this into practice. Where can I find art hoes? Is it considered weird to just hang out around college campuses without attending?
Do not make banging art hoes your immediate goal. Get a girlfriend and have a happy relationship. Either it will last and you will be happier than if you just banged art hoes, or it will fall apart horribly and you will become bitter and disillusioned and therefore extremely attractive to art hoes.
And how does one do that?
Can confirm, I went the second route and am starting to have success with them.
Yeah it's weird. Nobody would know if you act like a normal bloke and you're a reasonable age. I took a gap year before attending university and regularly went to campus to read and use their wifi. If you look like you belong there you'll get by without problem.
This being said I never went to pick up girls, usual conversations trail to âwhat major are you doingâ and I could see that giving your act up.
As a joke Iâve brought e-girlta to a campus coffee shop long after I had graduated. I was approached multiple times. I tried it again at a different place months later, worked again. Ended up meeting up with 2 different girls because of Nabokov. Go figure
What do they say when they come up to you? Are they arthoes or are they mentally stable
Not taking a pic but I'd stack
>Virginia Woolf
>Haruki Murakami
>Sylvia Plath
if the point were attracting arthoes.
the next art hoe bait will be 50s/60s lit. didion, sontag, etc
The Ten Crack Commandments
Kek this DYEL fatty self-proclaimed "Southern boy" who treats knowing a foreign language comprised of 45% true cognates as "his" entire personality on this board can't go two seconds without seething when people post in his shit threads that have nothing to do with "him." Very womanly behavior for a "southern 'boy'"
Very womanly of you to remember all these personal details about me. I'm not interested in dating you. I'm not gay. I also don't know why you thought this would make me sexually interested in you. In the words of Rachel Zeigler, "Weird. Weird. Weird."
> Donna Tartt, Sylvia Plath, Oscar Wilde, Franz Kafka, Sappho, Otessa Moshfeigh, intermediate European poets like Baudelaire and Rilke, Karl Marx (but not really)
Basically the art hoe pantheon
Throw in a few obscure female-centric novels that nobodyâs ever heard of and you have the canon pretty much down pat.
They donât actually like Dostoevsky by the way. They just like to name drop him.
Very good list.
Add:
Milan Kundera for some reason, especially The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Hipster cred in UsSa or Europe but
more known in Latin America: Clarice Lispector and Alejandra Pizarnik
If I have to pretend to like Otessa Moshfegh to get pussy I'll just die a virgin
I've heard she's really good and they just made a movie out of one of her books with Anne Hathaway and Thomasin MacKenzie. What's so bad about Moshfegh?
>inb4 she's israeli
She's not.
her books are trite
also she's persian
>really good
The only morons who say this have read fewer than 40 books in their entire life and listen to redscarepod
I've read more books than you. You probably haven't hit triple digits, let alone quadruple digits. Get on my level, pseud.
I have read over 1,000 and own over 1,700 books.
Having read that little it makes sense that you say Otessa Moshfegh is trash simply because she's a woman. Remind me again, what's the timeline for chud to troony pipeline? How long until you start trooning out? I bet you also summarily dismiss the works of Sally Rooney.
Work on your b8, bud. I expect a little more effort in your reply to this.
