No, Russian translations I read in Dutch. Though if it were poetry I might prefer English. Dutch is not a very poetical language. We have no really great poets.

Efficiency is not a really good word I know, for the more complex thing I meant to say. I think man has invented clocks and mesure devices to be able to understand one another on the matter of space and time. Like we developped language for communication, understanding and organising. I know there is much more to it, but I'm not in the position to work it out.

Here is a YouTube movie of M and M , I watched the first part (I think the whole series takes hours) and then I wanted to read the book first.
I will watch the rest of this Russian movie when I'm done with the book.

M & M

Not really. It just underlines the fact that the novel is not autobiographical in nature or otherwise based on a real incident.
