I'd give it 3 of 5 stars. I have reviewed it. The book leaves much in doubt and I'm still wondering what Maria will do with her new prosperity and business ownership.

Hadji Murad by Leo Tolstoy translated from Russian to English by unnamed translator. I wouldn't recommend this version for too many errors in word choice, spelling, typesetting.

9. Description of Greece, Vol. II: Books 3-5
by Pausanias. translated from Ancient Greek to 20th-century English by WHS Jones and HA Omerod. I'm counting this additionally to modern Greek because a modern Athenian, unless a student of the classics, would not understand spoken Ancient Greek and could only read it with great difficulty much as I cannot read Beowulf in the original Old English.

19. The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, translated from Italian to English by Archibald Colquhoun.
20. Everything Happens as It Does vy Albena Stambolova, translated from Bulgarian to English by Olga Nikolova. This completes linguist level for me.
21. I Saw Her That Night by Drago Jančar translated from Slovene to English by Michael Biggins. I now made it to Polyglot level.
