Finally got around to ordering this. You can tell why this work has endured. I found myself reading passages aloud just to sit with them.
Not my usual area but wanted to branch out. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. Highly recommend to serious students.
My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Not a light read, but far more accessible than I feared. Five stars from me.
Bought this as a gift for my sister and ended up ordering a second copy for myself. Some chapters demand a slow, careful read, and that's exactly the point. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. One of my better finds this year.
Was skeptical at first. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. The historical context alone makes it worth the price. One of my better finds this year.
