polutropeOne of the exercises in my Russian book was to finish translating this "quite strange" letter that Tanya (one of the main characters. The plot of this book is hilarious.) received:
Greetings!
I am a Russian writer, a French poet, and a German composer. In the morning I walk in the zoo and think in French. In the afternoon I read in Russian. In the evening I rest on the couch and speak German. Excellent! My old red pants are in the garage. My beautiful black dog is in America. And, you know, my books are delicious. Really! I live in house number nineteen. What is your favorite restaurant?
Farewell,
your new friend, Apollon.
...All I can say is: Run, Tanya, run! He's obviously going to be a stalker.
