Diese Ausgabe mit deutscher Übersetzung immer auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite war für mich perfekt. Das Drama hat geniale Stellen, am liebsten mag ich die Szenen mit den Hexen, die sind inhaltlich und insbesondere phonetisch der Wahnsinn.

I don't think I'm smart enough to understand this... The audiobook was quite well made tho.

Reread in 2025:
Still not a big fan of this story, but wanted to reread it in physical form.

The book was slightly disturbing and the plot was decent. I'm not the biggest fan and I wouldn't read it again but it wasn't the worst I have read.
