#it also seems to be translated charmingly poorly from Turkish to English

[p-clodius-pulcher]

Literally nothing like reading a super serious preface that’s like. This author is super serious about only writing history and not tales founded up on history blah blah. Page 12: “Rome had been built by some wanderers from Troy” no elaboration on this. okay!

#mags reads #listen the book was like 5 CAD at a museum gift shop and it’s about Hannibal what was I supposed to do #not buy it? #it also seems to be translated charmingly poorly from Turkish to English #which is weird #given that the author is English. #it’s really funny hi Mr abott who is from like the early 1800s they’re saying ur book was first printed in 2021 for some reason I respect #it tho I think it’s charming :)
