A review by angustiacosmica
Manual de zoología fantástica by Jorge Luis Borges
3.0
I don't remember the last time I read a full book in Spanish despite it being my mother tongue.
After all, e books are far more prominent in English than otherwise so it was just easier for me. However, this is the kind of book I had to dig to find in its original version.
It rekindled my love for not only Spanish, but for the Argentinean literature I so long stopped checking.
It's a great book, don't get me wrong, but I ultimately knew most of the creatures in it. What I DID enjoy most were the beasts imagined by other popular writers, including Poe, C. S. Lewis, and many others.
It was a fun read, I definitely recommend it if you want to unplug from daily life for a bit. Just wish it had pretty drawings to go with it.
