Written by a German author about 40 years ago, The Wall describes a very unique apocalyptic world in which only one woman survives. Haushofer's insights on what it is to be a woman in any type of world are as true now as they were in the 60s, maybe even moreso. I was especially moved by the narrator's relationships with the various animals who enter (and leave) her life. Highly recommended for serious readers who aren't afraid of disturbing subjects.

Cudowna książka, miała w sobie coś magicznego, niby to tylko historia o tym jak z powodu pojawienia się ściany pewna kobieta musi sobie poradzić. I radzi sobie naprawę nieźle. Niby dość nudna ale nie da się jej odłożyć.
Dla mnie kobiecy mix Waldena i Stardew Valley (ale wszyscy mieszkańcy zniknęli i nie masz nawadniaczy do pola) plus pełzający mrok i strach bo coś w tym świecie jest grubo nie tak.
(na goodreads jest fajny komentarz na temat feminizmu i feministycznej interpretacji książki)
Bardzo polecam

To be brutally honest, 97% of the book was a boring story of survival. Like, really, really boring. Then the bery end was a shocking heartbreaker that makes you ask why you slogged theough torpor to get to an annoying ending.

So beautiful, simple, poetic. A dream and a nightmare, and a dream. I really enjoyed this book and I loved the afterword by Bennett, too.
