correct. i have put it down twice now in the last 3 years. will probably pick it up again at some point but as of now i only want to read it to say ive read it.

I read it in French despite not being very good at French so I remember very little about it. The subplot about the Autodidact stands out.

>>8242037
Agreed. I read it in French too for the practice, but decided there were better French books to read than that and stopped. The autodidact was the most interesting part of the book. Why is this book so acclaimed?

Someone post it

Okay. I'm sorry.

That book is unbearably white Tbh.

IKR. At 5:19 he even says "I mean my god".

God I just realized this looks like a fucking mess. Here's a more organized form.


“You idiot, boy! Stop reading those fairy tales for a moment and help with the fanning!” the smith roared.
“C-coming!” the apprentice dropped the leather-bound cover and scampered to the bellows. A push on the handle to fill up the bags, then a pull of the handles to release it.
The nozzle huffed and puffed a good mighty blow, then filled the forge belly with a sweep of hot air.
The sword seared in a trial of fire; then sank into the sea of black coals. Grit’s brace shook it rough, before tongs grip swayed it to a bed of hard metal.
Hammer struck anvil and the metal made a cry; singing notes to chorus blow. Flames crept from the forge shore then ebbed back to the coal sea.
Gloved hands held sword by a grip, blade still blushing with glow. Runes spelt words with alphabets of fire; scribing words long ancient on a fuller’s smooth surface.
“That outta do it” smiled the blacksmith, content with his make. And baptised the weapon in the cools of water. Smoke rose from the wet and ascended like a spirit to heaven.
From the depths of the trough and into flame’s light, it gleamed rough diamond from its guard to its tip. A moment’s glance mistook it for a jewel. So rarely a sword crafted – when neither was wrong nor true.
“You mighty blade, shall be called Dark Seeker, evils of the deep will tremble your sight.” The smith held it up like it was the world’s last hope. Because for all his heart knew – it may very well be.
“Uncle Luwin, Uncle Luwin!” the apprentice jumped to his feet. “The guards!” he tore his face from the door’s slit. “The guards are coming!”
Luwin rushed to cover the sword with a blanket. “By the orb, Glarthir, keep your voice down or you’ll give us away!”
The door flung with a crash and a bang. Three guards busted with swords to their waists.
“Time’s up blacksmith” said the soberest of the gang. “King expects his sword in full condition, any less and it’s off to the block with’ya”

“Why of course” the smith humbled and reached for the spare he kept in a chest. A rather plain blade, oiled to look new. “Just as order. May the king slay many traitors with it.”
