it was amazing
bookshelves: classics, russian, short, 1001, w-mwl-alternative

Romana: Traducere: Luana Schidu
Narator: Victor Rebengiuc

Nu stiu ce as mai putea scrie despre aceasta capodopera scurta dar extraordinar de puternica. Doar ca m-a impresionat. Daca la inceput tonul era destul de glumet, povestea a devenit din ce in ce mai serioasa si cutremuratoare. Un pic de umor s-a pastrat totusi, poate pentru a digera mai usor continutul. Nararea lui Victor Rebenciug a aduagat, evident, mai multa valoare cartii.

Nu mi-a placut Ana Karenina dar aceast nuvela a fost altceva. Planuiesc sa citesc Razboi si pace mai tarziu anul acesta. Sa vedem cum va fi.

English:
I do not see what more I can write about this very well known masterpiece that it hasn't been already said. It is short but extremely powerful. If in the beginning the tone was light and I even chuckled a few times, the story soon became dramatic. A bit of humor still remain, maybe to make the story more digestible.

Paul Hello, fain review...M-ai făcut curios. Foarte curios. Probabil o voi citi anul acesta. Și chiar și tema cărții pare atractivă. Deși am citit Război și pace de la Tolstoi și nu mai am chef de el, de asta cred că mă voi apuca.

Indeed, a masterpiece. Thank you for your beautiful and thoughtful, and for all your kindness! 🌺🍄🌱🌿"
Thank you for your comment.


Sharof Hamroh One of of the folks on GR once wrote 'Thank God it was Ivan Ilych the one who died, not me!'

Needless to say that I felt exactly the same uncomfortable reading this masterpiece.

It makes you think at your own death, even so it is not yours described here.
