[Mihai L · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nu mă așteptam ca una dintre lecturile obligatorii să-mi placă atât de mult. Deși am fost sceptic la început, mi s-a părut foarte interesant, pe parcurs, profilul atât de variat și de complex al personajelor și relațiile dintre ei. Aș fi extrem de încântat să citesc o variantă contemporană a acestei nuvele, dacă ar fi ea vreodată publicată. Ar fi interesant. :)
