Goodness me.
I do know ...Tonio Kroeger at eleven? Goodness me. <br /><br />I do know I wasn't aware the book was a translation at the time.

I mean, I came across a copy of Nietzsche's Birth of Tragedy (in Kauffmann's translation), and read through it at the age of 17, but I don't Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224874392996053957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5305631555616445080.post-64708139144917179392011-04-14T09:17:32.548+02:002011-04-14T09:17:32.548+02:00Thought they'd add a bit of flavour.
