با خوندن مائده هاى زمينى آندره ژيد ، ردپاش به راحتى همه جا قابل تشخيص ميشه و از اوناس كه كتاباش يجورايى به همديگه وصلن . تو اين كتاب هم مفاهيم فلسفى و اون جمله هاى موندگارشو با يه داستان عشقى ِ شل كن سفت كن ِ پرغرور قاطى كرده و راحتتر به خورد مغز ميره . اگه مثه من با شخصيت كتاب احساس نزديكى كنيد خيلى راحت بلاتكليفياى دختره رو درك ميكنيد كه البته نيازمند:
١) يك كراش مخفيانه روى كسى كه باهاش در ارتباطين
٢) كمى ديوانگى بيش از حد
٣) خالى از هرگونه ريسك و دلو به دريا زدن و موندن روى عقايد شخصيتون
٤) و قادر به حمل بار سنگين روحى روانى به تنهايى هست . ( ديگه بيشتر از اين خودمو لو نميدم :)) )

معنى اسم كتاب از متن كتاب :
"بكوشيد تا از تنگ داخل شويد، زيرا كه در بزرگ و راه فراخ به ضلال مى رسد و بسيارند كسانى كه از اين دروازه مى گذرند، اما تنگ است درى كه به زندگى راه مى برد و باريك است راهى كه به سرچشمه حيات مى رود و كم اند كسانى كه اين در و اين راه را مى يابند."

A melancholy tale about the lethal dangers of spiritual 'egoism'..

It's really hard to understand how madly in love with Alissa Jerome is when she is the dullest person to grace this Earth, oh my word! And every interaction between these characters feels like childish nonsense. It was, at times, painful to read.
reflective

an interesting and deeply reflective short novel discussing Godliness and the true meaning of life, love and happiness.
often comtemplative but occassionally thinks itself deeper and harder hitting than i found it to be. it merely poses a few interesting thoughts in my opinion. both characters act quite childishly the whole time but i guess there are people like that in the world.
