Als erstes: dieses Buch braucht alle Trigger-Warnungen, die es gibt.
Sehr beklemmende Stimmung mit einem Cast von Charakteren die verstörend, pervers und interessant sind. Ihre absurden Handlungen machen in ihrem abstrusen Weltbild Sinn.
Ehrliche Zitate wie dieses sind in dieser Welt, in der Armut und Verwahrlosung herrscht, erfrischend:
... das Produkt einer Vergewaltigung war nicht mehr als das Beweisstück eines Verbrechens...
Die Allegorie zu unserer Welt, wo die Reichen in Luxus schwelgen und die Ressourcen für sich beanspruchen, während der 'Pöbel' von früh bis spät schuftet und trotzdem verhungert und verdurstet, geht zu 100% auf.
Villiam und Barnabas erinnern mich an den Bürgermeister der Seestadt + seinen Gehilfen im Hobbit 2+3 (Film).
Menschen, wie Grigori, die das ganze durchschauen, sind die Ausnahme und trauen sich nichts zu sagen, da sie von der Dorfgemeinschaft sonst nur als verrückte abgestempelt werden.
... Wer nichts besaß, dem konnte nichts gestohlen werden...
Warum nur 3 Sterne?
Ich finde ab der zweiten Hälfte ist die Geschichte nur mehr dahin geplätschert, um zum Ende (ab 90%) nochmal spannend zu werden.
Es wurden noch einige neue Charaktere gegen Ende eingeführt (zB Grigori + Familie), während andere einfach ignoriert wurden und nur mehr wenig oder gar nicht mehr behandelt wurden (zB Jude, Agatha).
Dadurch ergab sich für mich irgendwie ein unrundes Bild.
Wenn man über so etwas hinweg sehen kann, ist das s ein empfehlenswertes Buch für jemanden mit starken Magen.
