making it difficult to run around. Even if difficult, I do not regret having read this book with a unique title Leviathan. I have the feeling that I have always since my young schoolboy times been aware of this strange book and book title. What does it really mean? Something that does not exist? Something like Utopia? Yes, really, Utopka of just Thomas Hobbes. A thoroughly, in detail described society of ordinary men and women from Shakespeare era. Not only the life, habits and environment, but also the language of the book. Just as strange orthography and word order, difficult to understand as in Shakespeare plays. And in similar manner also true! Reading this book is really an exercise of abbrakadabbra. How could one stand it all 600 pages? The answer is: with a stubborn attitude and modest expectations of outcome. But that is not all. There is an unexpected helping feature in the text itself, a very comprehensive net of subtitles all over the whole book. Many writers would gain much following the exemple of Hobbes. The frequent subtitles correct and make good what the pebble form text leaves confused. At first occasionally, but soon systemathically, I made my notes of the whole book by copying the descriptive subtitles. They are so descriptive that sometimes I doubted, whether they were originally included by Hobbes himself or introduced later by some heureka experiencing reader. Their peculiar form hints more to the original author or at least to a contemporary helper: "Eternall Torments what" or "Angel what" or "Inspiration what". My main purpse of reading is learning more than just entertaining. For learning all headings and summaries are important aids. No harm of them in entertaining, either. With all respect to the renowned author, I cannot from my point of view give more than three stars to Leviathan. #rus Горсть гальки На самом деле не просто горстка, а целый двор, мешающий бегать. Даже если это трудно, я не жалею, что прочитал эту книгу с уникальным названием Левиафан. У меня такое чувство, что я всегда, начиная с юных школьников, знал об этой странной книге и названии книги. Что это на самом деле значит? Что-то, чего не существует? Что-то вроде утопии? Да, действительно, утопка просто Томаса Гоббса. Тщательно, подробно описано общество простых мужчин и женщин эпохи Шекспира. Не только жизнь, привычки и окружение, но и язык книги. Столь же странная орфография и порядок слов, трудный для понимания, как в пьесах Шекспира. И в подобной манере тоже верно! Чтение этой книги действительно упражнение аббракадабры. Как можно выдержать все 600 страниц? Ответ: с упорным отношением и скромными ожиданиями результата. Но это еще не все. В самом тексте есть неожиданная вспомогательная функция, очень обширная сеть субтитров по всей книге. Многие писатели получили бы много, следуя примеру Гоббса. Частые субтитры корректируют и делают то, что текст из гальки оставляет запутанным. Сначала время от времени, но вскоре систематически, я делал свои записи всей книги, копируя описательные субтитры. Они настолько наглядны, что иногда я сомневался, были ли они изначально включены самим Гоббсом или позже представлены каким-то читателем, переживающим эврику. Их своеобразная форма больше напоминает первоначальному автору или, по крайней мере, современному помощнику: «Eternall Torments what», «Angel what» или «Inspiration what». Моя основная цель чтения - это больше, чем просто развлечение. Для изучения всех заголовков и резюме являются важными пособиями. Никакого вреда в развлечениях тоже нет. При всем уважении к известному автору, я не могу, с моей точки зрения, дать Левиафану более трех звезд. #fin Kourallinen kiviä Itse asiassa ei vain kourallinen, vaan koko piha, vaikeuttaen liikkumista. Vaikka vaikeaa, en kadu, että olen lukenut tämän ainutlaatuisen teoksen nimeltä Leviathan. Minulla on tunne, että olen aina nuoresta koulupoikaiästä lähtien ollut tietoinen tästä omituisesta kirjasta ja teoksen nimestä. Mitä se oikein tarkoittaa? Jotain mitä ei ole olemassa? Jotain Utopiaa? Kyllä, todella, vain Thomas Hobbesin Utopia. Siinä on perusteellisesti ja yksityiskohtaisesti kuvattu Shakespearen aikakauden tavallisten miesten ja naisten yhteiskunta. Ei vain elämä, tottumukset ja ympäristö, vaan myös kirjan kieli. Aivan yhtä omituinen ortografia ja sanajärjestys, vaikea ymmärtää kuin Shakespearen näytelmissä. Ja samalla tavalla totta! Tämän kirjan lukeminen on todella abbrakadabbran harjoitus. Kuinka kaikki 600 sivua sellaita voi sietää? Vastaus on: itsepäinen asenne ja vaatimattomat odotukset tuloksen suhteen. Mutta se ei ole kaikki. Tekstissä on odottamaton apuominaisuus, erittäin kattava aliotsikointi- ja yhteevetoverkko koko teoksessa. Monet kirjailijat hyötyisivät paljon Hobbesin esimerkistä. Usein tekstitykset korjaavat ja tekevät hyvää siitä, mitä pikkukivi-teksti jättää sekavaksi. Aluksi satunnaisesti, mutta pian systemaattisesti, tein muistiinpanot koko kirjasta kopioimalla kuvaavat välitekstit. Ne ovat niin kuvailevia, että joskus epäilin, olisiko Hobbes itse alun perin sisällyttänyt ne vai onko heureka elämyksiä kokenut lukija myöhemmin ottanut ne käyttöön. Niiden erikoinen muoto viittaa enemmän alkuperäiseen kirjailijaan tai ainakin aikalaiseen auttajaan: "Eternall Torments what" tai "Angel what" tai "Inspiration what". Tärkeintä lukemisessani on opiskelu pikemminkin kuin vain viihde. Kaikki otsikot ja yhteenvedot ovat tärkeitä apuvälineitä opiskelussa. Ei haittaa niistä myöskään viihdyttämisessä. Kaikella kunnioituksella tunnettua kirjailijaa kohtaan en voi mielestäni antaa enemmän kuin kolme tähteä Leviathanille. @@@ 20190923 At first it seemed to me that this book is a big handful of pebbles. Now I start seeing a chain of links, possible to follow by brain breaking. 20191004 Feeling that the text sentences are confused and unclear, but the general line of argumengation is consequent and clear ***
