Murees, I'm ...It is a lovely book, Blogoratti.<br /><br />Murees, I'm thinking things get lost in translation often.<br /><br />I also think it's a bit of both, Toinette. <br /><br />Annalisa, I agree with you. Our lives do have a vast impact on how we read things. <br /><br />Absolutely, Madilyn. Writing is all about seeing from other perceptions.<br /><br />So true, Stephanie. For example, I'm about the only person I know who hated Wuthering Heights because I thought Catherine and Heathcliff both sucked as people. <br /><br />Lee yeah the abridged version also cuts three quarters of The Three Musketeers out. <br /><br />Robert, I read The Count of Monte Cristo recently, and there definitely are a similar sense to them. That said, The Count of Monte Cristo is actually a lot darker than The Three Musketeers.

I read the abridged version when I was in 2nd grade. I recall loving it, but that was so long ago.

And that leads me to think about perception and how much it clouds our opinions of the people we meet and the characters we read about.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312704287427589698.post-53163873799547428112015-09-08T19:27:13.127+02:002015-09-08T19:27:13.127+02:00Props to you for translating!

Perception does change a lot; everyone looks at things differently. & to be a good writing, you gotta get into other perceptions :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312704287427589698.post-47088260155143357642015-09-08T14:24:58.234+02:002015-09-08T14:24:58.234+02:00I think translations definitely lose something - I...I think translations definitely lose something - I'm just not gifted enough to be able to read in anything other than English.<br /><br />I think naturally our perceptions change depending on our reference points - being young vs being slightly older, being well-off vs struggling for money. It's as much to do with our experiences as it is with the facts in front of us.<br /><br />Thought-provoking topic, Misha :-)Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312704287427589698.post-17756544452502783842015-09-07T19:42:56.868+02:002015-09-07T19:42:56.868+02:00This post brings up many questions.
