i know some german at C1 level or so, but i read a bilingual edition, it was very comfy, i don't think i could have done it with the pure german text
trying to get through the Thomas Mann one now, actually for Goethe's it helped that it was poetry because it prevented him from building monstrous chains of German subordinate sentences where you only get the verb half a page later when it ends, but with Dr Faustus because it's in prose nothing stops Mann from doing it...
Is it actually good? Does it feel like a transcendental fewer dream where you have some bits of information and you have to learn into this surreal system?
