Cassandra by Christa Wolf

anomys_'s review against another edition

2.0

Un libro non per tutti, nemmeno per me.
Mi è piaciuto il lavoro della Wolf, l’umanizzazione dei personaggi e immergermi di nuovo nel mito greco.
Purtroppo non ho amato la scrittura a flusso di coscienza, ho trovato la lettura molto lenta e ogni volta che chiudevo il libro mi risultava sempre più difficile riprenderlo in mano.
Un consiglio per chi volesse leggerlo: se non lo avete già fatto, studiatevi un po’ il mito e le figure che prendono parte alla guerra di Troia, perché la Wolf, attraverso Cassandra, non introduce nessun personaggio e potrebbe risultare difficile poi seguire le vicende narrate.

Mir fehlt das Vorwissen zum Trojanischen Krieg, um nicht über die ganzen Figuren zu verzweifeln.

das nach "song of achilles" zu lesen war perfektes timing, aber ich hätte mich trotzdem noch mehr belesen müssen, um dieses buch wirklich zu verstehen. ich liebe christa wolfs schreibstil, ihre ausdrucksweise und ihre themen, aber ich konnte den handlungsstrang hier nicht wirklich erkennen.

DNF. Bu kadar dağınık bir anlatım şeklini daha önce okudum mu bilmiyorum. Cümlenin ortasında sanki ne söyleyeceğini unutmuş gibi başka bir şey anlatmaya başlıyor. Bir kitaptan ziyade birinin düşünce akışını okumak gibi. Ki o da karmakarışık zaten. Bir anda alakasız birinden bahsedip anılara dalıp sonra başka biri aklına gelip oraya atlıyor. Geçmiş gelecek hayal hepsi birbirine girmiş gibi. Resmen sadece baş ağrısı yaptı. Çok merak ettiğim bir hikayeydi ama artık zerre umrumda değil.
