You're both really, really dumb. You do realize that it's much more accurate translating one Romantic language into another than into a Germanic one, right? If you can't read French, but you can read Spanish, go for it.

I'm not the guy you were originally pointing out. The fact that the guy said he was going to get it in Spanish indicates that he was aware it was a French novel, otherwise he would have said in the original. Nice try back-pedaling on your ignorant remark.

i'm reading that now it's pretty good it just seems like a lot of circlejerking going on

and i have a question for anyone that's read it were people back in the day's memory better than ours today or what cause i mean there are some guys who remember a lot of stuff like exact quotes and stuff

the same goes for a tale of two cities when they found doctor manette's letter in the bastille how could manette remember all of the events which he described in that letter i don't get it

In XIXth century France, not so many people could read and write. And those who could didn't do it very often.
Education was much more founded on orality (especially quoting the known authors), so I guess it makes sense to be able to remember that much.
It wouldn't in a novel set nowadays though.

It is maybe also Dumas being not so realistic, he does that sometimes.

This isn't really true. Education in 19th Century France was much, much better and more widespread than probably any other European country with the exception of Germany.

I'm talking 10 to 20% of the population able to read back then (especially at the beginning of the XIXth century). I don't know if it's much ore not compared to other countries.

Yeah, XIX, that's how we do it over here.

Sirs, I believe I just read my favorite line in literature up to this point.
"Why, goddamit, why did they insist upon confusing the class struggle with the ass struggle,"

What are some of /lit/'s favorites?

>looked at the classical philosophy list
>see Aristophanes' "Clouds"

...

Just because it has Socrates in it doesn't make it philosophy. If Aristophanes is on there, we may as well put Xenophon as well.
