Ich bin David, literatur- und sprachbegeisterter Hobbyleser, und auf diesem Kanal stelle ich Literatur abseits der aktuellen Bestsellerlisten vor: Zeitlose Bücher, die bereichern, anregen und unterhalten. Keine KI-generierten Rezensionen, keine seichte Strandlektüre von der Stange. Stattdessen: Klassiker, Buchtipps, Einstiegshilfen für Werke, die als "schwierig" gelten. Wiederentdeckung vergessener Autoren und Werke.

Schwerpunkte: Literatur auf Deutsch, Englisch, Italienisch und Jiddisch (in der Regel im Original gelesen), Videos zu literarischen Querschnittsthemen, Langzeit-Lesereihen mit Erläuterungen und Zugangshilfen zu komplexen Werken und Themen.

Dear friends: after three years of experimenting with a multilingual channel, I decided to create a separate channel for each language.
As of today, all my new videos in English will be be published on my new channel:
‪@PolyglotReadingEnglish‬

New videos in English will only be published there.
I will also gradually transfer older English videos to the new channel.

Thank you for your support on my journey so far.
I look forward to seeing you again on the new channel.

Cari amici: Dopo tre anni di sperimentazione con un canale multilingue, ho deciso di creare un canale separato per ogni lingua. Da ora in poi potrete trovare tutti i miei video in italiano sul nuovo canale: ‪@PolyglotReadingItaliano‬


I miei nuovi video in italiano saranno pubblicati solo lì.
A poco a poco trasferirò anche i video più vecchi sul nuovo canale.

Grazie per il vostro sostegno nel mio viaggio fino a qui.
Non vedo l'ora di rivedervi sul nuovo canale.

Liebe Mitleser, die Laistrygonen-Episode ist so ergiebig, dass ich noch 1-2 zusätzliche Abende brauche, um das ganze Material in ein Video (mit Überlänge) zu bringen. Danke für Eure Geduld.

I've met with James Joyce at Trieste, where he had written large parts of 'Ulysses'. He was a bit stiff and not very talkative. Perhaps it was because of his formal attire despite the 36°C heat. At Trieste, you can also visit some of the places where the Joyce lived, and there is a small Joyce museum (no fee), also with rooms dedicated to other writers who lived and worked at Trieste (Italo Svevo, Umberto Saba). Worth a visit!
I am a bit behind with the English and Italian version of Episode 3, due to my vacation, but I'll catch up soon!

While preparing the next Ulysses video, I received these nice pictures of Joyce's grave at Zurich.

The latest Joyce video will be posted a little later, probably on Tuesday. As a small consolation, here are a few impressions from a fantastic Tolkien exhibition I visited last week in Catania, Sicily. The photos show a desk from his study, a portrait (oil painting) of Tolkien, the sculpture of a cave troll and some costumes from the legendary film adaptation

Delay / Verspätung / ritardo:

The small print below the author's name is my current location. That's why the Joyce video will be a few days late.

Das Kleingedruckte unter dem Autorennamen verrät meinen aktuellen Standort, - daher kommt das Joyce-Video ein paar Tage verspätet.

Le note in piccolo sotto il nome dell'autore indicano la mia posizione attuale, quindi il prossimo video su Joyce uscirà con qualche giorno di ritardo.
