Did you know you can't buy Mein Kampf in Germany. And that if you study it in school, those books are kept in a special part of the library. In addition, one of my friends said when he was in 8th grade or the equivalent, one of his friends put his finger to his nose, mimicking Hitler's mustache, and the teacher slapped him across the face to get him to stop.

I know because I made several attempts of reading Don Q and Moby D back then but with meager results. I read most of the French (Rabelais, Stendal, Flaubert, even read all of de Sade), German (some, Faust I read later in German) and Russian (except Tolstoy) classics back then, no problem. But the full version of Don Q and most Shakespeare (except Romeo when being in love in the early 20s) is aimed at a more mature audience. One may claim to have read it but it takes a more mature personality to understand and enjoy any of it. Taro
