  1. Parakh Agrawal

    A very good translation of a wonderful classic. I devoured the novel and enjoyed every page of it. A timeless exploration!

  2. Chakshu

    Not my cup of tea. I found Andrea to be completely unlikeable, and the story felt unnecessarily drawn out. Translation work is good.

  3. Abhishek Gupta

    The translation really made the novel flow. It’s a thought-provoking and engaging read overall. I liked how it ended.

  4. Sunil Kumar Budania

    It’s a challenging read, as Andrea’s behavior is often appalling. Still, the novel raises important questions about morality and pleasure.

  5. Madhurima Purkait

    Beautifully written, but I struggled to connect with Andrea. His pursuit of pleasure felt shallow at times. Still, the prose is captivating and the setting is vivid.

  6. Arushi Mittal

    I enjoyed the prose and the descriptions, but the plot felt a bit predictable. Overall a worthwhile read, but not a favorite.

  7. Shubhkaran Singh Bhalla

    I appreciate the beautiful language, but I couldn’t connect with the characters. Andrea’s obsession felt exaggerated and unrealistic for me.

  8. Siddharth Goyal

    Pande’s translation is top-notch! The story is gripping and the characters are fascinating, even if they’re not always admirable. A classic.

  9. Rahul Choudhary

    A compelling, yet unsettling journey into the heart of desire. Andrea’s choices left me conflicted. Pande’s translation is superb, but the story’s morality is questionable.

  10. Saurabh Kumar Suman

    I was both enthralled and repulsed by Andrea’s actions. The story is a bit slow in the middle, but the ending is powerful. Pande did a great job with translation.

  11. Ishan Madan

    Pande’s translation truly brings the decadence of Rome to life. A fascinating exploration of human nature, though the characters are not always likable. A great read!

  12. Aashi Aggarwal

    Found the story engaging though the main character was insufferable. The author did a great job of showing his flaws. Pande’s work is good.

  13. Dev Kumar Gupta

    Dark, seductive, and ultimately tragic. ‘Pleasure’ is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of human desire.

  14. Dushyant Pratap Singh Kushwah

    The story felt a little too long, and I didn’t sympathize with Andrea. But the descriptions of Rome are fantastic, and Pande’s translation is fluid.

  15. Prakrit Kohli

    A brilliant exploration of desire and its consequences. Pande’s translation is seamless, making this a truly immersive reading experience.

  16. Vijay Laxmi Vashisht

    A classic tale of lust and betrayal, expertly translated by Pande. The characters are complex and flawed, making for a thought-provoking read.
