The ten extra pages after yggdrasil.

[heartbreak]

In this edition there are ten additional pages after yggdrasil that are not in the other editions. It appears to be an article about the book. I have started translating it. I will post each page here after I finish translating them as long as I am not told to desist.

A few things to note:

1) I do not speak, read or understand Greek as of starting this project.

2) I am using a combination of babelfish and an Oxford Greek Minidictionary to translate the extra pages.

3) Words in parenthesis are words that I could not translate, but found a word that is very close to spelling and might be an approximation. The original Greek word appears underneath the word in parenthesis.

4) Greek words in bold are words I have not been able to translate or approximate.

5) I have put notes in parenthesis and italics. Those are added by me to note things that I felt like noting.

6) Some translations by fearful_syzygy.

All this said, I hope you enjoy.

A entry in the House from Leaves

The House from Leaves is σολιψιστικό literary (archetect),
αρχιτεκτόνημα

a spiral labyrinth of pictures, significances, explanations, lies,

one almost perfect literary universe, front in that the reader

it initially stands with mistrust, in order to it is delivered afterwards in the maelstrom. It is

a book that it includes μεταμοντέρνες phobias for (reconstruction)
αναπαραστατικότητα

the experience, divisions for the modern subjectivity, (psychoanalysis)
ψυχαναλυτικές

extensions, theoretical reflections, philosophical queries,

aesthetic and architectural analyses, frugal, photographs, collage,

poems, letters, even a index. Simultaneously, however, it is also

a addictive history of terror. As says also himself the writer, Mark

Z. Danielewski, "Πιτεύω that most persons will say that [the book]

they are for a House that is bigger internally αη΄ that externally" (1)

The House from Leaves contains all the elements that were still reported and

still more it is almost impossible we transport (or we represent)

in somebody with clarity the plot, and how many rather the meaning of this

book. A thing in any case is sure: Danielewski it accomplished

it creates a αψεγάδιαστο literary mesh where, as the House

that describes, denies (persuasive) it is limited in monodimensional explanatory
πεισματικά

action.

The επίμετρο this will not attempt it analyzes all the aspects

of book (this, besides, it would be practically also theoretically impossible),

but to focus in concrete aspects of this literary αρχιτεκτονήματος

and to elect the importance and their usefulness. Basic

coordinates of this campaign in the House from Leaves will be

the labyrinthian form of text, ιδιότυπη typography that is used,

and multiple levels of (narration). Denominator of these
αφηγηματικότητας

coordinates will be the space, as significance and as picture, in

in which unfold argumentative intensities without resolution.

His chaotic form of book is based initially on multiple (narrative)
αφηγηματικά

levels. Before we deepen in this question, it will be supposed

we are reported in the long delivery the multiple and interrelated levels

of narration in the literature, that, while it strikes as derivative

of μεταμοντέρνς arrest, is in the reality one almost κλαική

exercise styles. Work as the Don Quioxote of Cervantes and the Tristram Shandy

of Laurence Sterne constitutes simply ' two examples of classic

literature where we meet one of literary this-συνειδητότητα

his text for κειμενικότητά. The example, however, that has

particular importance for this import is Turn of the Screw by

Henry James, where the multiple levels of narration, the conflict between

testimony and literature and the αφηγηματική turbidity that results

because this conflict are connected elaborately a history

(imaginary.) Precisely this literary phenomenon develops
φανταστικού

Danielewski in his novel, where the intensity of history that is unfolded

is strengthened by a continuous friction between the (narative)
αφηγηματικών

levels. In order to (facilitate) the reader, we propose diagram with
ευκολύνουμε

the (narative) levels of House from Leaves:
αφηγηματικά


Current/Work-------------------------------------Writer/Author

The films of Navidson-----------------------------------Will Navidson

The file Navidson-----------------------------------------Zampano

The House from Leaves--------------------------------Johnny Truant
(first publication in the Internet)

The letters from the Psychiatric Whalestoe-----Pelafina Heather Lievre

The House from Leaves-------------------------------The commissaries
(second publication)



In the beginning the reader reads a book with basic hero

Johnny, that accidentally discovers the manuscripts of blind old,

Zampano, which dedicated his life in the record keeping of elements

and testimonies based on the lost films of small length of Will

Navidson. From a point and afterwards, however, the reader has the sense

that reads the file of Zampano the proper, while elsewhere that it reads

(intact) experiences of family Navidson. In other points,
αυτούσιες

our writer περιπαίζει, giving us the sense that παρακλουθούμε

the film of Navidson (for the relation of text with the cinema

will speak below). At the development of book, the levels

of narration are not presented independent. Via the footnotes

a level is contrasted with the other, or, in typographical level,

a level is interfered in the other, creating μια ιλιγγιώδη

αναγνωστικής reading experience.

The Danielewski, however, is not limited in this plurality of narrators.

In footnote 78, the writer displaces the reader

from basic δυάδα Johnny-Zampano, and to us sends - with one almost

playful way - in επίμετρα the book, where juxtaposed the

letters of mother of Johnny. In the interview that gave the Danielewski

in the Larry McCaffery and in the Sinda Gregory, writings it says that

[fearful_syzygy]

Not to interrupt, but "Γουέηλστο" is a transliteration of "Whalestoe".

Some of the others aren't too hard to figure out. Anagnosis. Solipsistiko, etc.

Carry on.

Please please offer up any translations you can figure out that I don't manage to. Just don't be vague. What are the other one's you mention?

[fearful_syzygy]

Oh, sorry. Anagnosis means 'reading' in Greek, or, indeed, 're-reading'. An 'Anagnost' is a reader or prelector, usually in a church.

Solipsism is the view or theory that self is the only object of real knowledge or the only thing really existent, but when applied to the structure of the House it might refer to the individual's effects on the shape and size of the House. Or I could be making this all up. Since solipsism is actually Latin in origin, it would have to have been borrowed back into Greek in order for it to mean this at all. It's unlikely, although possible, that it means something completely different.

Also, still on the first page, I'm just guessing here, but I wouldn't be surprised if μεταμοντέρνες (metamodernes) meant 'post-modern'.

επίμετρα is presumably the plural of epimetron, which must mean something like an appendix. If anyone remembers the reproduction chapter from their biology textbooks, they might know that the epimetrium is the outermost layer of the uterus.

Towards the end there is a reference to a 'basic δυάδα Johnny-Zampano'. This is presumably a diad (like a triad, but with two elements), which is then complicated in Epimetron II-E: the Γουέηλστο Letters.
