The Lesson

by Cilla Naumann, Saskia Vogel (Translator)

Some students will drive even the best-intentioned teachers to the breaking point. Ingrid is one of those students. The Lesson is a nuanced portrait of the struggle between two wills, crackling with psychological tension and simmering with emotion.

Hm, en stark obehagskänsla både under och efter läsningen. Är allt verkligen som det verkar?

Ett nytt förlag vid namn Novellix levererar nyskrivna tunna, faktiskt i fickformat stora, noveller fyra gånger per år. Väldigt trevligt koncept må jag säga! Jag gav mig på två där den ena var Naumanns Lära sig. Det var en bra liten novell, men ack så deprimerade. Lärare vs elev vilket kanske inte är så vanligt. Engagerande trots kort.

Another very good short story in the series by publishers Novellix. A series of commonplace school "events" become a teacher's obsession and at the same time make one wonder if things really are commonplace as they first seem.

An interesting short story but nothing special. I liked it but I don't think I will remember it.

Being a teacher is actually my worst nightmare. So happy I escaped that destiny. Thoughts and prayers to the poor guy in this story.

Hm. Förstår den inte. Bara obehaglig.
