3 stars

Klassikoksi oikein mainio kirja. Kaikenlaista perinpohjaista jaarittelua riittää sivutolkulla, mutta kokonaisuus on silti kudottu sen verran tiiviiksi kudokseksi, että tästä tulee suorastaan moderni vaikutelma. Välillä romanttisen fatalismin laineet kyllä tuntuvat lyövän vähän yli, mutta kuitenkaan ei voi siltä välttyä, että eräät henkilöt ovat täydellisyydessään välillä suorastaan innoittavia.

Tämä on jonkin sortin lyhennetty laitos, tokko on täysimittaista teosta suomennettukaan. Ja tämän tiiliskiven kohdalla herää kysymys, millainen läpitunkematon tiilimuuri lyhentämätön versio olisi ollut.
