- Buku ini super menarik!
Ini karya terbit tahun 1906, tapi aku salut krn isi buku ini masih sangat relate dengan keadaan sekarang
- Terjemahannya nyaman bgt dibaca. Kalopun ada dialog permainan kata, ttp mudah dipahami. Ini bikin kita bisa masuk ke dlm ceritanya dengan baik.
- Awalnya, aku pikir ceritanya bakal menitikberatkan ke permasalahan dia dan murid2 di tpt kerja barunya, trnyta lebih pelik. Spt yg aku bilang di awal tadi, isinya masih relate smpai sekarang krn memang permasalahan dan tokoh2 yg diceritakan masih sering ditemui hingga sekarang
- Di sini, kita akan disuguhi banyak tokoh dengan berbagai watak. Ada tokoh yg tak tahu malu, angkuh, sok berkuasa, selalu menonjolkan diri, munafik, kasar, terlalu ingin tahu, manipulatif, penipu, hingga yg pendiam
- Sikap tokoh utama yg kelewat jujur, tidak suka basa-basi dan blak2an bikin ceritanya menarik. Pun dengan julukan2 yg ia berikan ke rekan kerjanya. Wkwk ini bantu banget buat aku yg susah hapal nama tokohnya, dengan julukan trsbt jadi lngsung ingat dengan ciri khas masing2 tokoh
- Dengan menggunakan POV pertama, dialog blak2an dibalut humor ringan yg dituliskan seringkali berhasil bikin aku ketawa

Aventuras y desventuras de un profesor novato destinado a un instituto rural.

El humor japones es complicado de captar, pero la novela es francamente buena, con personajes muy conseguidos, especialmente el narrador que termina cayendo bien pese (o gracias) a la gran cantidad de defectos que manifiesta.
