Ho acquistato questo titolo perché vincitore del Premio Nobel per la Letteratura 2018 (e dell'International Man Booker Prize 2018). Con mio grande dispiacere, l'ho trovato proprio difficile da digerire. La chiave del senso di questo insieme di narrazioni sta nel titolo: i diversi racconti che lo compongono parlano di storie di vagabondi di diverso tipo. Persone che si muovono, viaggiano, si spostano, hanno esistenze fluide e tutt'altro che ordinarie. Il risultato è un libro probabilmente non per tutti i palati. Sicuramente non per il mio.

Başlarda zorlandım, yarısından sonra hızlandı diyebilirim. Tokarczuk'tan okuduklarımın her biri diğerinden farklı. Bu özellikle çok daha parçalı diyebilirim. Yazarı tanıyacağınız ilk kitap bu olmasın bence. Herkese tavsiye edemiyorum. Meraklısına...

jstilts's review against another edition

Didn't get far but flicked through to some random pages to make sure it wasn't just the beginning, but no - the whole book is a series of bleakly negative essays on random subjects related to travel. I'd highly recommend "Drive your plough over the bones.of the dead" by the same author instead.

jpgringo's review against another edition

I was expecting this to be fiction, but it’s a memoir. Tokarczuk is a great writer, but she comes off insufferably flakey and self-absorbed here. Too many good books out there to suffer through one that’s unimportant, at least, if not necessarily objectively bad.
