Ahhhh, kā visātrāk atcerēties bērnības garšu! Gan pati grāmata kā klasika, gan tie apraksti par Nangijālas ieleju dzīvi uzreiz uzsit slinko vasaru noskaņu, kad sienāži sisina pļavās un pats ar plikām pēdām stāvi dobē un ēd ērkšķogas no krūma.
Protams, no tāda pieaugušāka un objektīvāka skatpunkta, te ir diezgan daudz tehnikas/loģikas kļūdu, kuras bija vajadzīgas sižetam un tikai tāpēc tika palaistas cauri. Un pat negribas domāt, ka sīkie, līdzīgi kā ar teletūbijiem, var sākt lēkt no jumtiem, paziņojot, ka dodas uz Nangilīmu xD
Tomēr šī neglābjami ir diezgan ikoniska grāmata un pirmajā lasīšanas reizē mani galīgi nolīdzināja gar zemi :D Toreiz tās bija dikti lielas emocijas un pirmais šoks par rakstnieku, kas uztaisa negaidītas beigas un pavērsienus :D Ak, Astrīd. :D

Prachtig boek, voor kinderen en volwassen. Over loslaten, liefde, vertrouwen, moed en de magie van de dood.

I don't remember how old I was when I first read it or where my copy is now but the excitement; still can taste it. It was a copy with a few pages missing and I still don't know what they held. But the story of brothers, they love I could understand so clearly and I grew so terrified for what if my sisters died? What if I died? I finished the book and put it away, somewhere where I still can't find it. Maybe it's time to get a little scared again.
Adult me now cringes a little at the ending. Sure, they story goes on but giving the message that being paralysed is worse than death. It's really not, a disability doesn't destroy your human potential. Wish I could remember what and if I though anything about it back then.
