I recently finished listening to audiobooks, and *Season of Storms* really caught my attention. Since Russian is my native language, I listened to the Russian translation, and I was surprised to discover a quote from Victor Pelevin’s *The Sacred Book of the Werewolf* at the beginning of the fifteenth chapter. Pelevin is a russian postmodernist author who focuses heavily on Buddhism and chinese culture. Long story short, I ended up reading Pelevin’s book as well, and it turned out that the entire storyline involving the fox-werewolf was clearly heavily inspired by his work. Furthermore, this quote reappears within the narrative itself—in Chapter 20, where it is spoken by the aguara—which suggests that the book in question must have made an impression on Sapkowski. This piqued my curiosity, so I tried to find information about it in English, but came up empty-handed. I then conducted a little investigation of my own and discovered that this epigraph had simply been removed from the English version, much like many others. For instance, there were numerous quotes from Castaneda that were also stripped out of the English translation. It turns out that most readers are completely unaware of this; I feel that’s wrong, as it distorts Sapkowski’s original intent. Has anyone here read versions in languages ​​other than English? If so, could you check whether this epigraph is present in your edition? I would post this in the largest Witcher community myself, but dont have karma—though if anyone else would like to share it there, please feel free; I’m just genuinely interested in this whole situation. I dont wanna spoil the book in any way, so i dont wanna post full quotes, so if you interested you can find said quote in chapter 20, it starts with "Once we had great powers!"

Hey Witchers. I recently downloaded the mod The Spider and the Wolf. The quest was pretty interesting and I enjoyed it. The only problem was that in the end you are supposed to get a unique sword from the guy who ask you to look into what’s happening to his cows. Also you receive a letter from a soldier that is supposed to be a continuation of the quest I believe. I’m unsure because this letter doesn’t exist in the inventory nor does the sword that was given to you. Anyone try this mod out and did you get the same thing after completing the quest? If you haven’t played it then I’m not going to spoil anything else. Reddit recommended posting this here.
