clara_mai's review against another edition
5.0
Wir haben alles Gefühl füreinander verloren, wir kennen uns kaum noch, wenn das Bild des andern in unseren gejagten Blick fällt.
Wir sind verlassen wie Kinder und erfahren wie alte Leute, wir sind roh und traurig und oberflächlich - ich glaube wir sind verloren.
Abends stehen sie wieder am Gitter und der Wind kommt von den Birkenwäldern zu ihnen. Die Sterne sind kalt.
Unsere Gedanken sind Lehm, sie werden geknetet vom Wechsel der Tage
Unsere Hände sind Erde, unsere Körper Lehm und unsere Augen Regentümpel. Wir wissen nicht, ob wir noch leben.
Da das Buch 1929 veröffentlicht wurde, enthält es ein paar veraltete Begriffe, das möchte ich erwähnen. Die Art, wie vom Protagonisten und den anderen Soldaten über Frauen gesprochen wird, ist nicht immer angenehm - meistens einfach sexualisiert - aber so wahrscheinlich authentisch.
