Wow. My uncle recommended the author to me, I'd seen the film of the first story so thought I'd try it.
Excellent short stories. And you know, they felt like novels - the detail, plots, characterisation I usually complain is absent in short stories were all present and correct. Great ideas, excellent narrations and styles (letters, looking to the past, inner thoughts), with a theme and slight connection running through. Admittedly the final one I didn't like but at 9 pages I just didn't have much to connect to.
Very worthwhile, beautifully written. Now seeking out 'Chess', another recommendation.

Kitap okumakta zorlanınca araya kısa bir kitap sıkıştırayım dedim ama ne zaman öğreneceğim bilmiyorum.Stefan Zweig böyle araya sıkıştırılabilecek yazarlardan değil.

Bir kadının duyguları ustaca anlatılmış.Psikolojik incelemede Zweig'in kusursuz olduğunu düşünüyorum haliyle karakterleri zihnen hayal etmeniz sorun olmuyor.Görünüşünü hayal etmek de bize kalıyor.Her okuyucu için binlerce bilinmeyen kadın olduğuna eminim.

Bu kadın sadece duygularını değil yaşadıklarını da mektubunda anlatıyordu.İsmini de söylememesiyle mektubu yazdığı kişi gibi,bizim için de tamamiyle bilinmeyendi.Böylece sadece düşünceleri okumamış biraz da olayı bellekte hayal etmiş oluyorduk.Bu mesele de kitabı alıp götürüyordu.

Eğer bir Zweig'i iki saatte okuyorsanız kitabı iki gün düşünüyorsunuz.Ona göre hesaplayın.
