I got to see the original Rosetta stone the other day. It's truly an amazing artifact that unlocked so much knowledge that might otherwise have been lost.

In that spirit, I'd love to hear from you: What is your favorite book/movie/TV show that has been translated from another language? (Dubbing and subtitles are both acceptable).

Mine are currently One Hundred Years of Solitude and Njáls saga.

Books are altogether another behemoth as most have been translated into other languages. Authors such as Albert Camus, Franz Kafka, Jean Paul Sartre, Dostoevsky, Gunther Grass, Han Kang, Rousseau, Christine de Pizan...it's endless ?

The Hangman's Daughter series, by Oliver Pötzsch, is one of my favorite translations. Originally published in German, I believe. I read them a few years ago - the first one here: https://goddessinthestacks.wordpress.com/2013/10/21/the-hangmans-daughter-by-oliver-potzsch/
and the next three several months later: https://goddessinthestacks.wordpress.com/2014/01/17/book-review-the-dark-monk-the-beggar-king-and-the-poisoned-pilgrim/

The end of an era

What can I say about the Endgame apart from wow. The end of the infinity saga is 3 hours of Marvel awesomeness.

I got chills when they all started appearing through the portals.

Would I recommend: definitely.
Should you see the other movies first: the only one you should definitely see is Infinity War but all the others are pretty good and worth watching too.

What an end to the phase

Im a massive Marvel fan and have to say I love this version of Spider-man, this film was a great end to the infinity saga and was really a coming of age for Spider-man. I saw a lot of the plot twists coming but one in big one caught me by surprise! Triangle sandwiches anyone?
