Nadja

1. Content - 5/5In my opinion one of the best book ever written. The way Andre Breton narrated/written/presented the story was new to me(I cant comment on translation because i do not know french). Such a realistic book. Philosophy and reality in one bookEverything fades, Everything vanishes,Something must remain of us.2. Packaging - 5/53. Book Quality - 3/54. Quality of printing - 2/5 (for 699/- I paid such a terrible printing)

Buena lectura

This book defies many literary rules. It's quite short, but even that is way too much text for the amount of story it conveys. The story on its own is nothing special, describing authors encounter with some eccentric woman with a Russian name Nadja. The first part of the book is tough to read thanks to too many cultural references that may have been relevant at the time the book was written. I have no idea why author had chosen to keep it in. I suspect this may have been a part of his diary at some point and later evolved into the novel, but who knows. The second part is the actual Nadja story and it's quite interesting to read, though it ends too abruptly. In conclusion, the author shares his views on psychiatry of the time and this part was the most interesting to me. Andre Breton served in neurological ward during WWI and his perspective is valuable on this subject.In conclusion, I think it's more interesting to think and talk about this book than to read it. Similar to dada and surrealist art, it may come off as somewhat lazy and superficial effort, but it's essential for anyone who's trying to expand their horizons to try and understand the motive behind it.

うってつけの品を購入したと思います.英語の方は、少々得意ではあったので,読んでいて,現代の世界的な,文化の背景となくキーワードを,多々見つけて,願ったり叶ったり.日本語訳とは,また違った観点から,アプローチできる,入門書として最適だと思います.英文専攻の方なら,（私は理科系で,SF好きだっただけです）,辞書なしでも読み進めるくらい,良く言葉が置き換えられています.同じ,外国語として,その構造から,訳しやすいという点にも注目.これを読んだ貴方は,貴方なりの,日本語訳を,必ず見つけることができる,そう確信しておすすめしたい,一冊です.

A surrealistic bomb

Arrived before stated time. Not quite as surreal as I hoped but, hey, that's fish for you.
