Filo Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Didn't know that the second and third parts haven't been translated at least in english yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I did't know there were more books. My mom had read Empire (I don't know what posessed her to get it from the library; it's not really her type of book), and recommended it to me. It was pretty good, although bizarre (that female police officer sure was rude! ;)), and a lot of the ant stuff is pretty farfetched (like the whole tank maneuvre), but it is interesting nonetheless. If they have translated the rest, I would love to read them, as the end of Empire was a bit of a cliffhanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryorama Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Would you reccomend that book to us? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 See for yourself.Personally, I'd recommend it, but if you can't read the original French version, realize that it has been translated, so it may not sound like poetry all the time. Aside from that, it's an interesting story. The "politics" of the anthill is pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 In french the word "Empire" doesn't appear. So it sounds strange to me.Yes it would be great if someone could translate the two sequels in english, because they are actually following and really completing the first (which is the best one). Werber wrote also the famous (in the novel) Encyclopedy whose his little preambles have been excerpted, in french : L'Encyclop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
