Направо ме побиват тръпки от това произведение. Така и не дочетох втората част - и не възнамерявам да го правя поне следващите 20 години.
Не понасям Алеко още от "Разни хора, разни идеали," през чарковете на машината, че и Бай Ганьо.
Голям късмет изкарах, че не ми се падна нито на изпита след седми клас, нито на матурата.

Vermakelijke schelmenroman die tegelijkertijd een goed tijdsbeeld biedt van de politieke ontwikkelingen in het Bulgarije van de 19e eeuw.

I really, really liked this book - but there was so much I didn't get because of the cultural references (which, I think was the point and that make it great). I think it could be one of my favourite books if I had a Bulgarian book club, Bulgarian friends who would be willing to patiently discuss it with me. I hope to come back to it in a few months or years when I'm more versed in everything Bulgaria.
