so-soIt was kind of interesting, but the story felt like it hopped around more than the flea did.

pickI have read another edition of this book and in regrets to this great book, the translation falls short. In saying this, I absolutely adore this book, there isn't anything like it. Leskov‘s humour is subtle but it will make you roar in laughter. I enjoyed Leskov's political commentary on Russia and England in its time. However, a little knowledge of the political climate at the time goes a long way.
so-soAn absurdist tale centered on a tiny mechanical steel flea. Some fun bits, but not very memorable for me. #24in48 #readathon
