Translated Fiction Collection 🌍 bookshelf tour of my translated books

i loved this book so much this is about a girl named sophie spark i don't think her name's sophie and the german though i wish they would just leave the names alone like there's no reason to change them but she's working as kind of a glorified babysitter up at this very remote hotel in the swiss alps and all of a sudden things start to get very strange

as you can see right here we have my murakami collection all translated i believe by different people from japanese this is one of my favorites after dark

yeah i read this in 2019 absolutely loved it of course we're going to be reading it again actually in 2021 for the book club as well

it's just really good fun honestly and i just i love grendel i think he's such an interesting character so i would highly recommend bewolf if you haven't checked it out because i just think it's so fun

i can tell you it's just superb i absolutely loved it one of my favorite books of last year

so this was super interesting and it's definitely just a nice short rigged by voltaire so i would recommend as well

we read this in january as our first work for tolstoy because this is the first novel that tolstoy ever wrote and it was just such a good time as you can see i annotated this coffee and it was just really good fun

what i have read from this collection like i've dipped in and out but i by no means covered the whole thing i really like it and i would really love to read the rest of it

i got to also check off reading convenience store women this year which was so amazing by sayaka mirada i highly recommend this book as well

i also read this in 2020 and i liked it but i definitely want to read it again i think it's a book i would love to read copious times

i read this as well a few years ago i love this i love this so much

i also currently have frankenstein in baghdad on the go by ahmed sadawi and that is just incredible at the minute

i did read this a few years ago wasn't super in love with it we follow madame bovary who gets obsessed with aesthetics and very rich materials textiles consumerism everything like that and we follow like the tragedy that accompanies her by this obsession with the material world

we have my favorite book 100 of solitude by marquez

i love this was such an impressive read

i love this is my favorite books of the year so far

another brilliant sci-fi is solaris by stanislaw this one's translated by joanna kilmartin and steve cox from polish one of my favorite reads of 2020 this also just blew me away loved it

this one was written as an instructional manual the insights of the prints range across a variety of subjects from politics military how you should live your life relationships a lot of like subterfuge and corruption and how you should go about kind of being a political figure all of the backstabbing and the lying and everything that goes into that so this was just yeah really fun

some other favorites are definitely the windup bird chronicle

i read this also this year really loved it this one's translated from the chinese this is just so good this was so good it blew my mind it's a sci-fi about kind of an alien invasion but just so much more than that and it was just incredible

we have aguaviva by clarice lesbachter the translation by stefan tobler i read this in 2020 really like this one
