Loved this book! Drew me in immediately. Read it!
I'd previously read R.F. Kuang's "The Poppy War" and loved it, so of course had to get a copy of "Babel", which at the time was storming its way into readers' hearts around the world and rising to well-deserved heights on so many best-seller lists.Having last night finished reading this remarkable novel, I am now only sorry that I'd left it languishing for so long in my TBR (to be read) pile on my coffee table!Truly, any review of mine at this point would pale by comparison to the praise this fabulous work has already received. I can but echo all the comments and accolades already impressed upon the dust jacket. And, as if it's not already clear, let me simply add that I loved this book. The author's tremendous depth of research shows, while her skillful storytelling shines on every page. Even adding the *footnotes where appropriate to help contextualize things was a fabulous touch. Academia, historical fantasy, the power of language, the devastation of people lost in the churn of politics, greed, and power whether as insiders or those on the outside looking in.This is not a casual read, but it will draw you deep into itself and take you on a most impressive journey into how language, translation, and the control of resources can propel a nation forward, or light the fuse that may cripple it.

"Babel" è un romanzo avvincente che cattura l'attenzione sin dalle prime pagine.
La trama, avvincente e ben strutturata, tiene il lettore incollato fino all'ultima pagina. È facile capire perché sia diventato un bestseller sia per il "Sunday Times" che per il "New York Times". Un libro imperdibile per chi ama storie ben costruite e significative!
