Good !

3:44 Portuguese j's are NOT pronounced like h's. They sound much more like english j's, like in "journal". You're projecting spanish onto a entirely different language, specially regarding pronunciation.

Thank you for putting effort. Absolutely brilliant video. Nothing but respect for you

Lenin did not like the book. That means you should be reading it.

Bro was a visionary.

I haven't read anything except the Diary of a Madman which is a 20 minute minute read and which you obviously didn't read. Your summary is completely off. It's "eat people" not babies at all. And he doesn't think the others are mad he just fears for his life and the moral degradation of others because of their ancient man-eating habits. It is a bit concerning you didnt read a 10 page story which makes a video commenting on several thousand page novels. Thank you wikipedia, I guess.

Как житель россии хочу сказать. Мышкин вернулся из Швейцарии не потому что это нейтральная страна. У мышкина была эпилепсия и он уезжал в Швейцарию лечиться

20 mins. Never knew Sacha Baron Cohen was a famous British psychologist as well as a famous British comic actor 😂😂😂

I saw your Bukowski vid, it was great.

Loved learning about Ayn Rand 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Keep doing what you’re doing 🎉

Why married men get bored?

Your English is really good and clear, but it's "generation to generation" (one by one no plural x). Im wondering if the repitions are for emphasis or a feature of the culture of the time. x

🌻🇷🇺🌻 thanks

After watching 2 of these on this author, all I can say is I won't be reading her. It feels like a proto MAGA author setting out a case for why those people that find fulfilment outside of striving to be captains of industry, don't deserve any help. Your piece was as usual great but I have never encountered an author before where I thought reading her work would be a step-backwards.

Just got myself a book of compiled short stories by Chekhov and now, I am motivated to read it ; thanks dear friend for making this beautiful, insightful and compelling video❤️

If you turned off the background music this too would be a masterpiece😊

Please don't use the music

Some of these comments are harsh. I'm sorry people are being so rude about you sharing your opinions on American literature that you like and that you feel define the voice of American literature. This goes against your description/definition of the voice of American literature, BUT I'd still like to suggest reading indigenous American authors. Some well known ones include: Louis Erdritch, Tommy Orange, Scott Momaday, and Joy Harjo just to name a few.

I am sure that he never married and had no kids. He was not good looking, he was not rich. The Post officer who worked 11years there, never saved any money, never invested any money in stocks, land, and bought lottery. His America dream was a nightmare.😅😅

Diogenes is my spirit animal.

He didn't learn anything from his mother. His mother had proved that his philosophy was wrong. 😅😅😅

so what positions should be recommended..for the benefit of humanity?

Ngl this is the worst analysis and video essay I’ve seen about catchet in the rye. It’s like you completely missed the point

verdadero mucho gracias

The question arises that how a personality that has also been broken by the reason one or other could become man to be called Tolstoy and Dostoevsky!

However both are the strong pillars of the art and literature!

خیلی ممنون من یک ایرانی هستم

Downvoted for using AI voice. Super lazy

Does THE CASTLE's protagonist die, in the end?

David Lane is an illusionist, so it seems likely that he didn't truly starve himself and that he faked or exaggerated any weight-loss.

"Kafkesque" is not a literary style. Instead, it's when life and reality seem to immitate Kafta's nightmarelish stories. And not all of his stories are nightmarish, and not all nightmarish realities are Kafkaesque. To give an extreme example, the Death Camps and the Gulags were nightmarish but not Kafkesque, but it's easy to imagine a Kafka story set in one, that the protagonist hasn't been his supposed crimes.

Great video! How could you absorb so much of Shahnameh as it is not the only book you are covering! Shahnameh is full of surprises. Bijan & Manijeh is a nice love story with some distinctive features. It has an introduction where Ferdowsi explains that in a dark night when he felt sad, his partner (spouse?) narrated this story to him and asked him to include it in Shahnameh.

Great author

“E-I-H-T, shall I continue? Yeah, u left out the G cuz the G ain’t in you.” sorta video-What a diss track

To avoid physical work

I really enjoyed your video. True....the cockroach is one of the most successful creatures on the planet, this insect is everywhere, therefore got called Periplaneta, the name of the genus. There are many species. Periplaneta americana....

These two are equal but for different reasons (Tolstoy the moralist, Dostoevsky for psychology). Try also Chekhov, Pushkin, & Turgenev. But I would not want to Live in that era in Russia. For the modern era, try Solzhenitsyn.

There's people talking about a decline of the west and how Rand predicted it. I'm curious: what do they mean by decline, what are they actually talking about? I'm aware the world is not perfect or even great by any means, and neither are the western countries we (probably) live in, but I don't see how things have ever been "better" if we want to speak in a general and qualitative way, though I'm not a fan of this manner of speaking. Just the fact that I can read and write, and in more than one language, without being noble or even wealthy, is something that wasn't possible for most people even 70 or 80 years ago. If the west is declining what is it declining from? When has the life of the average man ever been easier and relatively full of opportunities?

Now we are all intellectuals in social media - be it in our woke or anti-woke avatars.

Love your videos bro

Wow, 😳 RUSSIAN is gorgeous, how old is the Russian language

I'm so glad I was never forced to read her books in school.

Anything by Jules Verne is an automatic 10 out of 10 for me

I feel sorry for people who need to justify their lack of empathy. Ayn Rand was a very superficial "philospher".

The sky is falling, fear mongering view of the world--very difficult to take seriously.

Such a ridiculous plot lmao
