Hello everyone.

Is there any recommendation for a good books i can read about c++/c# game development?
Also, if maybe c++ or c# is too old for games, would you recommend me some other programming language?

Thanks.

What I have tried:

Ive heard about SFML, but i need something on lower level(something easy to understand).Just for a start.

Game development takes a lot more than just knowing the language. You'll hardly ever have one source to learn. There are books available to get you pretty far, but most require you to know something that isn't covered or require third-party components that could cost you money.
Here's one:

Game Coding Complete

This book is very in-depth and uses C++ as the primary language (although you might be able to incorporate C#, Java or Lua as "scripting languages"). This book isn't for beginners and more often than not, you will be required to know certain C++ libraries, certain third-party components and certain knowledge of DirectX and so forth.

I don't think there will ever be a book that covers everything of game dev AND is easy to understand. That's one of the main reason why you'll have more than one book/source to refer to.
