Depeche Mode by Serhiy Zhadan
"labai gera knyga, ir dėl kelių priežasčių. visų pirma, skaitant įspūdžiai kinta, ir kinta labai savitai: iš pradžių atrodė pretenzinga, nuobodu (ir vėl tie 90s, jau užknisę juodai, vėl tas pastišas, sąmonės srautas etc.), po to pasakotojo žadano ir j" Read more of this review »

At the present times, it is understandable if even avid readers turn away from Russian literature - this is the result of the weaponization of Russian culture and its incorporation into its imperial project by the criminal, genocidal regime. And yet, ...more

Blind Rider by Juan Goytisolo
"I was disappointed by this book, but I'm not sure if my issues are with the book itself or the translation, which often seemed to me rhythmically and syntactically clumsy. I had the sense of the language being forced and slightly posturing. This migh" Read more of this review »

On hämmastav, et see raamat on saanud nii vähe tähelepanu, samas kui näiteks Sally Rooney "Normaalsed inimesed" on ka eesti lugejatelt seda pälvinud palju rohkem. Need kaks raamatut sarnanevad oma ülesehitusprintsiibilt, ja ka Rooney raamat on hea (n ...more

Quotes by Rein Raud  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Kõik, mis on täiuslik ja vastuoludeta, peab kaduma. Täiuslikuks saamise hetk on tema lõpp-punkt, edasi pole tal enam kohta. Muidugi ei tähenda see, et ta kohe otsa saaks - aga ta sureb paratamatult, elu lahkub temast, ükskõik, kui kaua ta füüsiliselt siin meie keskel ringi ka ei liiguks. Ja see ei ole see täiuslikkus, mida teil enda ümber vaja on, uskuge mind.”
Rein Raud, Hotell Amalfi

“Love springs from the ability to prefer imperfection over perfection.”
Rein Raud, Vend

“Kõik inimesed on kenad, ainult mõned neist ei anna sellest endale alati aru,' väitis munk.”
Rein Raud, Ratsanik Melchior

“Enda teha kõik. Ja mitte miski.
Maailm mängib keelte pilliga.
Olla elus - siin on õudset riski;
verd ja higi, puid ja lilli ka.”
Juhan Viiding

“Love of God is pure when joy and suffering inspire an equal degree of gratitude.”
Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace

“A concept is a brick. It can be used to build a courthouse of reason. Or it can be thrown through the window.”
Gilles Deleuze, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

“Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.”
Karl Popper

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”
Albert Camus
