Enfes!

Gece yolculuğunu keyifli kılmak adına kısa ve akıcı bir kitap arayışında denk geldim bu oyuna, vakti zamanında stokladığım epub dosyalarım arasında.

Nokta atışı yapmışım, soluksuz okunuyor.

Hem yazara, hem ilham kaynağına, konuya, işleyişine, son söze ve çevirmen notuna PES. Gerçekten enfes.

absolutely don't remember reading it for class, BUT I'm documenting it for a reread.

ruthmoog's review against another edition

I picked this up thinking it was the work which inspired the Robert North ballet Death and the Maiden after Schubert's piece - it's not, though it references Schubert hence the title.
This play was just not my thing!

The set-up was so interesting and then the ending was abrupt and unsatisfying. Maybe for political reasons, but I expect for time/act restrictions.

گاهی وقتی میرم کتابفروشی، کتابای کوچیک که نمی‌شناسم می‌خرم، سعی می‌کنم از انتشارات‌های معروف بخرم به این امید که ترجمه‌ی کتاب، بد نباشه. کتاب‌های کوچیکی که بتونم یک ساعته تمومشون کنم و امروز وقتی احساس می‌کردم با تموم وجود نیاز دارم یک کتاب رو کامل بخونم ، این کتاب کوچیک رو پیدا کردم و از خوندنش خیلی خیلی لذت برم، یک نمایشنامه‌ی روون و جذاب، به شدت دردناک که به طرز عجیب و غریبی حالم رو خوب کرد(انتظارم از کتاب‌هایی که بدون شناخت میخرم خیلی بالا نیست:)اما به نظر بهترین یکی از بهترین کتاب‌هایی بود که تو یه غروب به شدت غم‌انگیز بهاری، بتونم بخونمش و حس خوبی بهم بده!شاید هم دلیل این حجم از حس خوبم به این کتاب اینه که چند ماه اخیر هیچ کتابی رو کامل نخوندم:)
