Reviews

[Eva]

En rad historiska noveller. Strindberg vill ge se sin historiesyn, dvs flytta fokus från kungarna till gräsrötterna. Det första tiotalet noveller uppskattar jag hans gestaltande fabuleringskonst som ger liv åt det förflutna. Varje novell sätter något kulturhistoriskt samhällsfenomen under luppen.

[David]

Stilen är förträfflig; vad jag upplevde var att varje novell blev lite anonym i mängden. Jag har svårt att peka ut den ena från den andra, särskilt med titlar som inte var särskilt hjälpsamma.

Short stories from time past. Quite interesting, the author had a good imagination or rather a sense for truth. I've written about a dragon once, it just came to me, because I wanted to make a chinese woman happy <3 I rate it 3 stars because I got no emotional response from the book. But I do have a Heart of Stone so you gotta write real good for that to happen. Oh, right, I read it in Kristianstad's University Library in autumn/winter 2009 to 2010 spring/summer sometime, it was a recommended book, close to the quite comfy, from what I can remember, armchairs. Anyway, not quite sure if it was #2 or #1. Or both. he lived in a long time ago and i sorta wonder what life was like back then. the electrical revolution started already in the 1820s. i could try to find documentaries but hey...
