Lapidarium III

Lapidarium #3

by Ryszard Kapuściński

Z jego opisów przebija szczególna atmosfera dziwności. Metafory, na jakie natrafia Kapuściński, są zawsze niezwykle sugestywne. Autor wpada wtedy w trans, powiększa i wygładza najdrobniejsze detale tak długo, dopóki nie nabiorą roziskrzonej jasności mitu.

Genres: Nonfiction, Polish Literature, Poland

[Łukasz · Rating 3 out of 5]

Trudno nie zwrócić uwagi na przypadkowość, ale gdybym składał moje własne "Lapidarium" z cytatów z przeczytanych książek kilka zdań z tej pewnie by się tam znalazło.
