Segueixo en la meva era clàssica. La història ja la sabia de català de 3r d'ESO, del Javi (o Xavi), però llegir les paraules traduïdes de Sòfocles en persona és molt diferent. No m'esperava una tragèdia tan tràgica dels grecs (error bastant gran en retrospectiva).

I'm happy to have read it, it's a classic. It's short and fast-paced, making it easy to follow along, and a major reference in literature. Don't think I will be re-reading anytime soon, but I will keep some quotes from it. The writing style is older, so it takes slightly more time to understand, but very beautiful nonetheless. Major plot twists make this an exciting read. The characters barely have any development if any at all, the plot is what matters more here. (But social / human relationships themes being used are insanely interesting)
