Hi, Anton Shepelev : Michael Dukelsky!
I read your message from 05.03.2019 00:27

 MD>> What is the benefit of reading  English  translations  from  other
 MD>> languages and not books written in English?

 AS> I sometimes read translations from my native  Russian  that  I  may
 AS> better translate myself (double meaning intended).

 MD>> I'd understand it if the book were really a good  literature.  But
 MD>> from  my  point  of  view  Althemist  is  not,  it  is  more  like
 MD>> graphomania.

 AS> One aphorism from The Alchemist,  "Once you make  a  decision,  the
 AS> universe conspires to make it happen", is often attributed to Ralph
 AS> Waldo Emerson,  but I did not find it in  any  of  his  essays.  If
 AS> Coelho wrote it himself, he is not so bad at all at all!

In my opinion, the phrase is a sweet lie for those who wants hear it. It is
unnatural, as the idea that a person can freely buy a flock of sheep and graze
them in any part of the country... without being beaten by the land owners and
local shepherds. ;-)

Bye, Anton!
