   Hi, Michael Dukelsky !   
   I read your message from 27.02.2019 16:07   
      
      
    AK>> If we use "they", we imply many people? IMHO, it is   
    AK>> incompatible "are" and "knows".   
      
    MD> I have no answer to your question, I have another question instead.   
    MD> What is the benefit of reading English translations from other   
    MD> languages and not books written in English? I'd understand it if   
    MD> the book were really a good literature. But from my point of view   
    MD> Althemist is not, it is more like graphomania. Throw out the nasty   
    MD> thing!   
      
   I also have a feeling that the book success is the product of a drastic   
   promotion campaign, but the book is a present, and as people say, "one   
   shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth". ;-) Besides, I like English reading   
   just for sake of English. I look at the phrase construction, punctuation marks   
   etc. The process gives me some pleasure itself.   
      
   PS: It was "The Alchemist" of course.   
      
   Bye, Michael!
