This book was the reason I started to learn Spanish.

I had learned that Marx, Engels, Lenin spoke several languages and thought it would be a good idea to copy them if I was to keep up with international worker movements. I just needed to pick a second language to start with. Mandarin wasn't going so well as it was hard to get interesting materials for learners while Confucius Institutes were being shut down.

I knew wanted to read Losurdo's book and the ******* at Verso had apparently refused to have it translated. It was available in a few languages. I chose Spanish as that would open up some Latin American literature, too.

Out of principle, I don't thinki could bring myself to read an English translation, considering the effort I've gone to read the Spanish version. But I'm sorely tempted to buy a copy to see how well I understood it and to increase the sales to make ******* realise what they could've had.
