Helena by Machado de Assis

annakorda's review against another edition

4.0

3,5/5
Περισσοτερο μου άρεσε ο Assis στον Φρενίατρο, που είχε εκείνον τον έντονο παραλογισμό, την τρέλα.
Αυτό μου θύμισε σε κάποια σημεία βραζιλιάνικη σαπουνόπερα.
Αλλά πέρα από τη θεματική που είναι λίγο ρηχή, αξίζει κανείς να σταθεί στο αστικό περιβάλλον που αναπτύσσεται γύρω από την πλοκή. Η ψαλίδα μεταξύ πλούσιων και φτωχών, ο τρόπος ζωής των αστών, η αδυναμία διαχείρησης από μεριάς τους θεμάτων που αποκλίνουν του τυπικού τρόπου συμπεριφοράς. Μια κοινωνία που συνεχίζει να διαιωνίζεται απλά και μόνο γιατί έτσι πρέπει να γίνει.
Ευχάριστο ανάγνωσμα!

One of my favorite all time books. Helena is a delicate but strong portrait of a young girl turning into a woman - and all the consequences of it, in old times.

Machado, o final desse livro não precisa ser assim. Por sinal, eu fiquei bem surpreso com a reviravolta. Não estava esperando o que realmente aconteceu.
