Welcome to Litsy!

It was kind of interesting, but the story felt like it hopped around more than the flea did.

🌟🌟🌟/5. It was a weirdly humorous read.

I have read another edition of this book and in regrets to this great book, the translation falls short. In saying this, I absolutely adore this book, there isn't anything like it. Leskov‘s humour is subtle but it will make you roar in laughter. I enjoyed Leskov's political commentary on Russia and England in its time. However, a little knowledge of the political climate at the time goes a long way.

An absurdist tale centered on a tiny mechanical steel flea. Some fun bits, but not very memorable for me. #24in48 #readathon
