ladyvictoriadiana's review against another edition
5.0
Diese Trilogie ist sowohl schön, traurig als auch spannend. Mir hat es viel Vergnügen bereitet, diese Bücher wieder zu lesen, da sie ein so wichtiger Teil meiner Kindheit waren - und dieses Mal konnte ich sie so lesen, wie es der Autor vorgesehen hatte. Natürlich kann man wirklich erkennen, zu welcher Zeit diese Bücher geschrieben wurden (sie entstanden zwischen 1860- 1900, was hier als Warnung über den Inhalt verstanden werden soll) und man kann erkennen, dass sie nicht als Bücher, sondern Kurzgeschichten für Zeitschriften etc. entstanden. Allgemein eine schöne Leseerfahrung - obwohl das letzte Buch mein Herz gebrochen hat.
This trilogy is both beautiful, sad and utterly thrilling. I really enjoyed reading these three books again that were such an important part of my childhood - and this time as the author intended them to be read. Of course, you can really see how long ago these books were written (they were written in between 1860- 1900, which shall serve as its own content warning) and you can see that they were originally intended not as novels, but short stories published in magazines etc. But overall, an enjoyable reading experience - even though this last book is especially heart-wrenching.
