Reviews

[Piotr · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ależ to wiwisekcja straszliwa. I obłęd w pięciu smakach. A wszystko napisane cudowną frazą. Przeczołgało, przyznaję. Inaczej niż Rumunia i Albania w wykonaniu autorki, ale wciąż przeczołgało. Nie żałuję.

[Mara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Scrittura forse un po' lenta ma traduzione ottima.
Ha un qualcosa di pirandelliano (delle novelle), un occhio critico e satirico verso l'umanità.
Un libro "degli ultimi" intendendo di coloro che per un motivo o per l'altro hanno abbandonato le speranze e aspettano (forse) il miracolo che li salvi.
Il ritratto di alcune manie e stigme polacche che fa sorridere ma lascia l'amaro in bocca.
