nice video
Imagine this was even before the setting of ghost of Tsushima 😳
Thank you, great summary to cramp before an exam the night before
So basically this guy, Genji is the Japanese equivalent of Casanova? Casanova's own memoires were also incredibly detailed about the life of the aristocracy, and his own romantic relationships.
1st time reading : story Written by a woman for women for fun that runs around a play boy life after deep reading i found its a beautiful novel . Very similar to ancient tamizh literature. Most of time No mention of names , address the characters with their dress prints , hair type and styles , flowers they wear , scent , the act they known for, etc ...Do more summaries please. ❤
Thanks so much! I will try to make videos more regularly from now on :)
I have to read this for my World Literature class, thanks for this!
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching! :)
You have a beautiful voice.
AI Narrated. :(
I'm about to watch "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote," and thought I'd get a refresher before diving in. A quite atmospheric video! Helpful and snappy! From the little I've read of the novel, and from the numerous references, quotes, parodies, a band named after the Giants, and more, Don Quixote is one of my favourite things ever. His style and look, his virtues and character, the story and people and adventure and ideas and history and Cervantes own life... It seems as if the universe is telling me to read past the first chapter, haha...! Thanks for the little nudge to that eventual future! :=)
You are very welcome! ☺️ I think every person definitely has a book that calls to them for one reason or another. Maybe whatever the author was trying to convey is somehow relevant to you own life’s journey. You and Cervantes may be kindred spirits separated by a bit of time and space, but looking at the same stars in the same way. ✨
Amen 🙏 I pray God will Send his right hand man immediately 🙏Amen
