Wise and artful beyond comprehension. Every portrayal is a commentary, and every commentary a magnificent revelation.

I might pick this up again. I enjoyed the many characters that I got to experience! But I was missing some exciting plot...

War von Zeit zu Zeit langsam zu lesen, vorallem die erste Hälfte des Buches. Jedoch auch Zeichen, dass es schlicht und ergreifend in einer anderen Zeit mit anderem kulturellen Kontext geschrieben wurde.

Allg. werden Themen der Einsamkeit, der Tod, Sinn des Lebens, Krieg und Traum, Arbeit bzw Arbeiter:innenrechte sowie soziale Unterschiede/Ungerechtigkeiten aufgegriffen zusammen mit der entsprechenden Ablenkung der Protagonist:innen von jenen Themen.
