    So does this include the commentary by Robert Graves? I find that half of these reviews never bring that up. In the books I have Robert Graves tells the myths then breaks down in a commentary what they mean, what their role was in religious practice and symbolism. Is this included here?

    • @librarybooks
      @librarybooks 28 дней назад

      @@MemoTercero Hello! They removed the source notes (that is, where he got each story from), but they kept his commentary. From the introduction: “The main text of each section tells the story and the succeeding paragraphs contain Graves's own notes, comments and theories. The introduction, similarly, has neither been cut nor revised; it is what Graves thought at the time, not what he might have written now."

    Semi-spoiler alert: Debt to Pleasure presents as a very erudite, witty and highly food and recipe-centric autobiography that would be a delightful read if that was all it really was. As I recall my first reading of it many years ago I only slowly began to realize how many people in the author's life were dying in unusual circumstances and to realize I was reading a fictional autobiography from an entirely different genre... (cue ominous initially low vol pipe organ music from "realize" swelling to max at "genre".)

    You had me at "Argue for your limitations and, sure enough, they're yours." Loved this book back in the day.
