"Dünyanın çıldırdığını biliyorsun değil mi? Ne çiçekler var üstünde, ne de şarkılar; derisi yüzülmüş bir baş gibi yuvarlak, pürüzsüz ve kızıl artık."

Muh-te-şem!!! Andreyev'den okuduğum Yahuda İskaryot kitabında da bu duygulara girmiştim, bunda da aynısı oldu. Çok gerçek ve çok sarsıcı bir mevzu olmasının yanı sıra yazarın üslubu da harika. Sözcüklerim kifayetsiz kaldı bu kitap karşısında.

A profound examination of PTSD. The "Red Laugh" should be read along with "All Quiet on the Western Front", "The Red Badge of Courage", and "Life in the Grave" (I zoi en tafo).

Through his storytelling, Leonid Andreyev conveys the horror, insanity and pointlessness of War through the eyes of his protagonists. The Red Laugh haunts and outmaneuvers the latter, as they attempt to escape its gruesome and omnipresent implication.

A thrilling book and a page-turner by any measure. Highly recommended.

In The Red Laugh, Leonid Andreyev creates a fragmentary but convincing portrayal of war and violence that is about to engulf Europe several years later. An imaginative dissection of political violence and its effect on the psyche.

Konusunu, anlatımını çok beğendim. Savaşın sadece askerler üzerindeki değil, tanık olan herkesin üzerindeki etkisi çok güzel yansıtılmıştı. Özellikle delilik betimlemeleri insanın tüylerini diken diken edecek kadar sahiciydi.
