My polish is not good enough to read the books, and (given that it's polish) probably never will be. I read Blood of Elves in english though and I merely thought it was decent. But polish speakers I respect insist that these books are amazing in polish.

For some reason the Witcher games are very popular among some female gamers I know and the woman conducting the interview I posted 2 posts back is also a huge fangirl.

Geralt is hot, apparently.

Palpek posted:It's really hard to me to compare the Witcher books with Game of Thrones because the Witcher series is written in such a specific meaty style and plays with the Polish language so much that it's basically untranslatable while being a major part of the appeal. GoT is written fairly normally in comparison. Can we have an overly detailed example that horribly dissects the joke? Im fascinated by puns in languages I don't speak.

Original: "Zabawa i towarzystwo zaczęły pełnić rolę absolutnie drugorzędną. Zauważyłem, że mogę się bez nich obyć. Wystarczająca i naprawdę ważna stała się krew, nawet pita Do lustra? wtrącił Jaskier. Gorzej odrzekł spokojnie Regis. Ja nie odbijam się w lustrach." Translation: "Later," Regis went on, "I started developing alarming symptoms. The fun and companionship started to play a secondary role. I noticed that I could do without them. What became important to me was just the blood." -Did you feel too bad to look in the mirror? - Dandelion asked. - I don't reflect in mirrors - Regis said calmly" Polish version has a play of words "to drink to a mirror" which means to drink alone, with only your reflection in mirror as an companion. In english you only get one of two meanings of this word play - to be ashamed to look in your reflection as you're filthy blood drunkard. I cannot find any other worthy quick quotes..
