who is who - double (N) Real Life of Sebastian Knight, which is applied the Master of the untold and unsaid

There is probably such a book of my favorite writer, which would not surprise me. If someone wants to start their adventure with Nabokov expects calm idyllic Russian climates may abandons its activities at the outset. In Nabokov's because one can not guard against a schizophrenic split (oh, it would be good if only it was split), before something so complicated that it almost difficult to comprehend. However, if someone likes a sense of detachment from reality and the fate of this specific chuckle, it is taking Nabokov's novel to hit the hand perfectly.

Real Life of Sebastian Knight is another twisted tale of achievements Master paradox. The story of how a mysterious V (well, one has to mysterious combination of the initials in the novels of Nabokov's getting used to) collect materials for a biography of his deceased brother Sebastian. This matches the deceased was reportedly well-known writer, author of perhaps a few books, but it is apparently significant. But as it turns out in the process of searching Knight's name is not completely known in the wide world. And he Sebastian undiscovered secret. Yes as a lifelong brothers were not able to reach each other by isolation Sebastian, so his life was closed, well-protected chamber. V but not discouraged by the lack of imminent progress in collecting materials and evidence on the size of his brother. He goes to many, unpredictable, even for himself to conduct at the end of the history to reflect on the existence of Sebastian. Ask the reader to puzzle, which looks out over the corner by the book, whether writing about V. Sebastian, or Sebastian for V?

could delve into this point in comparison Real life ... to other works of the writer but for the uninitiated is a pretty boring part of the summary, which does perhaps not encourage you to read. But those who have read anything Nabokov know what I mean, they know that in his books, strange things come out unexpectedly, often as part of the wardrobe of overloaded suitcases, as slippery earthworms after rain. Such is their lot, and happen so often that you can not keep up with their diagnosis, can not wait for the longer end, which, despite the conviction of the reader, and so it will surprise him and give some relief (the illusion of one who thinks so.)

The fact that our hero Sebastian was born in the same year that Nabokov, as he had a governess and just emigrated from Russia and studied at Cambridge, we had enough after the initial understanding of the other heroes (V), have experienced confusion self. Sometimes it is impossible to guess who tells the whole story, because the narrative in an invisible way, seems to move from one brother to another. Here, nothing is real, nothing is real, and yet everything is true. "Maybe the real effect is only Post-mortem? "Who is who in the novel, Nabokov? Can anyone guess?

Complications Of A Complex Migraine

, that which I can not express in words and books

remember how I reached the bookstore in the Grand Bazaar Railroad. I remember when I lost in a book already on the shelves and księgarnianych later so as not to distract from the reading I sat on, chosen by the lady - that it should not distract from the reading - tea. Such a picture I remembered from the first contact with us. I remember how I got the perfect tea to the table - a spicy, seasoned, aromatic spices, so that no other more fit for the book Theroux could not. The author himself probably zasmakowałby in it, and even a book can be safely compared to the richly spiced tea. Wealth warming, oriental notes - yes, definitely fits the Grand Bazaar Railway !

I do not know what caused that I could not tear themselves away from reading? I sat there mesmerized, disregarding the przerzedzający the crowd read, read ... and only the imminent closure of cafes przegoniło me from it. Is this the tone in which it is written Grand Bazaar, which resembles a sedative sounds of a train, or whether her own wonderful story? Probably both, because both great content and its soothing effect on the reader's operating characteristics of a book by Paul Theroux can not refuse. There's something "soft" - light gray paper cover photo, elusive scent of travel - all made up the magical whole. In the story, from which it is impossible to tear yourself away.

The Grand Bazaar Rail, the thirty-something Paul Theroux describes his first trip to Asia. Not just any trip, I trip, which took place on the historic Orient Express is not a trivial matter. Today, it sounds like an abstraction, a magical way, because I travel quite low today, has the spontaneity and adventure. At a time when you can get on a plane and Asia find themselves on the same day, which exceeded the threshold of the house, trip Theroux acquires a special meaning. Even more important it becomes when a madcap journey to the temptation for a few months after the Asian trip - because after almost 40 years, it will never be the same. In the era of cell phones and the Internet, such separation from family and the world more civilized call it is nothing compared to what the survivor is a young writer (incidentally, paid a pretty high price for lack of contact with his wife and children).

Great Railway Bazaar. By train through Asia is not typical book Travel from which, as the author of blowing boredom. It is extremely interesting journey through the unknown and the unknown. This is not advertising the places visited by the author - no guide, which is often presented without foundation praises place. Although it can serve as a guide. It may also, or mainly serve as an inspiration for the trip. If you have not so far that took the author, though he has mobilized to the departure from home - into the unknown, and in interesting places, perhaps even unexplored.

If we were to determine the place in which the story unfolds, we would have to indicate - Despite the many interesting places to visit the author - a train compartment. I may not always be comfortable and safe car bedroom, air conditioned and with good food and clean toilets. Often these will be temporary trains, which run under the tracks farther Asia - with all the tabernacle, which travels with the natives, with their vices and customs. Without the ability to monitor the travel time, because of who made the complaint here is that the composition of a sudden stopped somewhere in the middle of nowhere? Without the ability to sleep and wash up. But always with a guaranteed unique adventure.

not know then [before a book] that travel articles written for newspapers formed the mutual benefit of those who hungered for pleasure journalists and advertising whizzes who care to mention deprecated about the advantages of a hotel or restaurant was in the press. Most of the travel texts that I knew, therefore, concerned the holidays and luxuries, and not the real experiences and the hardships of travel.

Now Should I write a few words about the book. However, as the task of which is doomed to failure? Because, as can be expressed in the written word delight and rapture which provided me with reading Grand Bazaar ... ? How to describe all the thrills that breathtaking and przyprawiały of chewing on your fingers? How finally to describe countless places that the author visited and read by him in this great travel books? Well, how?

It is like touching the life, being in the travel weariness, fear and longing. Catching the wind in its sails, each time when it ceases. Combining, the struggle against adversity and his own thoughts, which cast doubt on many times. With a force that in some magical way, however, pushes forward, despite the many hardships and setbacks. Dark nights, cold mornings and sometimes hungry days. Finally, concerns about themselves and their families, which has left up for so long at home.

Many moments pass him the reader will be able to cool off after this "journey" and if his nature is interesting, and he is hungry for more of it or let alone packing a backpack and boarded the train or before he does so read Paul Theroux sentimental return to the path of its maiden voyage.

ghost train to the Eastern Star a second book with writer-trip travel to Asia. Thirty-three years after the journey described in the Grand Bazaar it goes the same route. Just like the first trip departs from his home in London (this time, however, is confident that he will have nowhere to go back and to whom) and reducing flights goes on a journey in the footsteps of the young Paul. This time it's sentimental journey, a route which delimit the memories and the changes that have taken place in the world by More than thirty years. Some of the countries on the way to the Grand Bazaar this time the writer is forced to steer clear of - political regimes, wars and systems do not allow him to cross their borders, but this has not discouraged already experienced Theroux.

Although both of these books are still the same, however, easily Theroux noted changes that have taken place not only on the itinerary but in Theroux. Today - not so dashing, not so confident and yet more terrified in a difficult situation - a mature Theroux travels more consciously. ghost train ... it does not show the forces of passion in the background. Contemporary Theroux is a traveler who absorbs all the images every cell of his body, every sense and at the same time trying to understand them, remember, and not counted. Focused on the journey, not the truest traveler.

Loneliness, self-sufficiency and anonymity - that the necessary conditions for travel. A selection of the correct route, the best way to travel is, in my opinion, the surest way to gain experience. The journey requires a complete surrender, need to be immersed in it, must be conscious of a long journey into the depths of the country, not moving from place to place - something like that to me does not deserve even to be called a journey.

Although these words were written by Theroux on the occasion of the first part of his Asian trip - the Grand Bazaar Railway - it seems to be more fit for this senior Theroux, one who travels by train spectrum of the Star of the East ... .

Orient Express, Trans-Siberian Railway, sometimes plane, India, Turkey, China, the Soviet Union, Poland, Pamuk, Safak, Murakami and many other less famous people, which the author mentions the years - these are just some of the enjoyment that the reader will meet in a joint trip with the author of books. Dołóżmy to this wealth of information to enrich the knowledge of the author and our tastes, smells and habits, and you get an unforgettable adventure you can experience sitting in an armchair at home. Feel ersatz emotion, which provides nothing in the unbroken path unexplored. These two books are stories that reject selfishness and open horizons. Something very new, fresh, something that has not yet been in any other book of travels. Finally a book that inspires, and I'm still emotional about, as Children's fairy tale that my mother read to sleep, and who returns with extremely clear images every time you mention it.

As the author of two books did not like the fact that leaving the family for so long (travel), so and I do not like the fact that all of a sudden I have described them in 1200 words. Great Railway Bazaar and Celebrities Urge the specter of the East , as I wrote not so easy to describe, so maybe it would be better not to start, because what is these few sentences in the face of many months, so many adventures and impressions from reading books. I confess - no words can not describe what I felt when reading and I feel today, when I try to give you at least some of these impressions. I think that anyone who reaches the book by Paul Theroux check on that belief, and who have already read them confirm my words. Nothing is able to describe their reading experience. A multitude of words, obsession enthusiasm, excessive gestures, tears in his eyes and smile, smile nieschodzący - joy, as if the journey took place on yourself. Fabulous!

P. Theroux past is present * - Flavours of Italy, not only in travel

this time will not be the usual lectures about the holiday, but not silent a few facts and stories. Establish the two books that flew with me to the Eternal City, and are excellent reading, not only on such a trip but also perhaps the motivation for it.

Rome because the city is mostly referred to is probably known to all, but perhaps not everyone knows that this city was founded during the Iron Age, the time frame is difficult to judge because they are different depending on the latitude. However, the emergence of the first Roman Republic dates back to around 750 BC It is a city with a rather checkered history, in which struggle for power waged both aristocrats, emperors and clergy. Destroyed, not only by the passage of time but many revolutions Rome started to lose their wealth, and only today has brought us to the unification of Italy, a significant and important change for the city. After reunification in Rome, the laying out of streets, construction of many buildings that do not always przystawałay to the ancient, ubiquitous walls and tried to more or less "arranged" the streets (though up to now their system is unclear.) An example of the destruction of ancient buildings is controversial Altar of the Fatherland - Vittoriano, the design absorbed not only tons of marble, but also the surrounding ancient buildings.

Vittoriano al. Altar of the Fatherland (Ara della Patria), a gigantic edifice of marble, which commemorates the unification of Italy. Was built between 1884-1911. From the terrace stretches a panorama of Rome.

Vittoriano - the view from the Via dei Fori Imperiali from the Forum Romanum

view of the Colosseum from Via dei Fori Imperiali

You do not need to submit? Colosseum, the Flavian Amphitheatre in fact - the hallmarks of Rome. The building - a symbol whose name comes from standing once 40 meters next to the statue of Colossus, and not, as often mistakenly believed the great size of the building. Originally it was a place of gladiatorial contests, but the past is only part of the whole complex of buildings which includes baths with pools and a reading room (adjacent hill Celio). As an amphitheater located 50 thousand spectators!

Between the continued expansion of Rome, Mussolini, who also accused the further destruction of historical monuments for nearly all new buildings, or streets (including the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the district EUR and the Via della Conciliazione). Rome is also known through films, Federico Fellini and Marcelo Mastroianni, initiated by them and called the Dolce Vita era . But the film La Dolce Vita the streets of Rome, far away. Too much traffic, expansion of new buildings and the whole therefore, the destruction of ancient buildings, exhaust and a big tourist traffic is not conducive to a sense of sweetness and for relaxation. The only hope opamiętaniu authorities and continuous dissemination started in 2000 investment aimed at restoration of monuments and modernize infrastructure. Apparently there is a good time to visit Rome - it either goes to the favorable weather conditions, that is bearable in Rome around 30 degrees and cloudless sky, but it literally overcharging tourists, buses, subways and streets, kilometer-long queues for museums and monuments or on deserted streets and restaurants in the least gloomy 40 degree heat. Personally, I am probably willing to endure the rain and thus escaping tourists if only to surrender to the allure of the city.

The famous Italian sweet life (which is not quite as sweet) book refers Penelope Green Roman dolce vita. It is a story of unfulfilled professional Australian journalist, who tired of the monotonous life rather puts everything on one card and moves to Rome. Thrown into deep water, not knowing the language does not immediately get his dream job and not once acclimatized well and gets along with the Italians. Green describes his trials and tribulations of learning about foreign cultures and people, and this may be useful for people who go on a trip to Italy. What survived the Green may stanowićdobrą school for its followers in the footsteps. Descriptions of meetings with Italian friends in restaurants, at the usual morning coffee and a sweet croissant, descriptions of customs can serve as a rich source of knowledge and help niejednokrotne escaped from oppression (the Italians are a nation very sensitive to gestures, you should first consult with their customs so as not to offend someone unintentionally.) Roman dolce vita is as nieturystyczny guide to the city, a position often better than the dry facts presented in the usual guidebooks for tourists. Knowledge of the mentality Italians should also be complemented by other items of the Italian trilogy Green - North Capri and Naples , my love .

especially recommend that first position, and is especially for those who like Italian food or want to learn it and move to the kitchen (which is what to like!). This is a book full of recipes! The story that revolves around them seems to be lost somewhere. For who will take over amorous perypetiami author in the face of savory pastes, fish and coffee!?

As far as eating them happy przeniosłabym Polish. Excellent fit to the aromatic herbs, fresh vegetables, tomatoes and heavenly scented olives. How wonderful to be able to enjoy, all in the kitchen house where we lived. Fresh herbs from the garden, evening talks and marvelous food, but equally great to sit in one of the cafes on the climate of the Roman street, and overlooking the monument to eat any of the flavor prepared by Italian chefs (must be Italian) lunch. And for dessert .... truest in the world ice cream (ice cream tasted good only in Croatia and now in Rome). Through this experience the book Penelope Green, which even before you leave me terribly nervous about teasing my senses became affordable reading, which of course can find a place in my kitchen.

One of the many streets with restaurants, but one of the few sparsely populated. We managed to grab the right moment!

A be a tourist in Italy is pure fun - those are treated with sympathy and understanding, but not always on the language, or are looking for clues to the location, but you do not have anything to fear. Maybe only if someone like me does not like the street traders should abstain from spreading in a variety of stalls whose owners (or rather not native Italians), a loud voice, to encourage purchases - if someone can tell me when they are not there, we are happy to visiting Rome again.

It is nice to be listened to talk of Italians - it's their element, that unless they live. When I talk to do not seem to see the rest of the world, have no regard for the surrounding crowd, not terribly much lower their voice while gesturing (may just not behind the wheel.) Their style of conversation is completely different from their approach to work. Spontaneity, przypisałabym that Italy as a characteristic of expression visible at first glance, as if they lose when they are at work (not on the parade strikes are called Italian). The slow movement, at least talk to the client, in addition, if time was of the rubber can be annoying at times, especially when the tourist rush to the plane. Ingeniously they can also simply avoid the angry customer, especially when the plane is delayed horrendous, no one knows what's going on, and travelers would have to be some explanation. Award for the Italians for an excellent leader of sight so as not to stumble on either one of the thousands of tourists gathered at the airport! The prize for traveling without trzymanki! Ride, after which you want to just thank God that he escaped with life! On the streets and in cars (and buses) is manifested their temperament - many gestures, and the cacophony of screaming horns are the only of its kind. Probably no one, like the Italians, with such grace can not be mad at the wheel;) Nowhere are there more as soon as I felt in Rome do not need to wear a seat belt buses, and nowhere more so thank you for it. However, even though its own car, I would not go there, is such a driving style I personally do not bother, rather than worry rozweselał.

This is not a procession, visitors gathered in front of a fountain - an inconspicuous access to it I was very surprised, like the sculpture itself, affixed to one of the townhouses. An interesting fact is that the water fountain comes from an ancient aqueduct 20 miles long.

summary: charge of infrastructure development while zatracaniu beauty - I put an unsatisfactory grade for the list is not harvested in the autumn, which sometimes can be lifted sufficiently, and the mentality (of this joyous hand, there żółwiego work rate) and the food is not wystracza my scale! For me, Italy (though it says a lot when I suddenly saw a piece of Rome and the surrounding area) is the flavor! The unique flavors of pasta, wines, cheeses and olives piccy - this especially because-made and sold under that name throughout the world, but not the whole tasting like there! I have a dream to go to Rome again, and that there were no dealers already mentioned, and yet so many tourists and all the houses around the wonderful sights. Yes, so you can admire their beauty in all its glory. But I am afraid that if something would rather just niszczało sights - but on the other hand, if you have survived so many centuries, is a small earthquake is able to be leveled?

Ask the Trainer with Dominic Knossalla

Question : Together with her husband three years ago from a shelter, we took our beloved dog Ollie. I am pregnant with our first child and a little afraid as Ollie would react to the baby. So far, his behavior toward children was wrong, and generally fond of children. Is there any way to prepare your dog for the baby?

Answer: After the birth of a child will probably have less time for walking the dog. Even now start to give him all his meals in the form of educational toys and various types of bone to ensure proper dosage dog mental effort and given the opportunity to burn calories in a passive manner. Three to five hours a day chewing and eating makes the acquisition that we have a more peaceful and happier dog. Olli Prepare for the necessary reduction in its "freedom" in the apartment, which occurs after birth. Right now it start to get used to separation from you using the protective gate, cage or on a leash by attaching it to a solid piece of furniture. To this new experience for him to make nice, I always give him a bone or a good educational toy - a kong - filled with food, to work out. Place his message where it will be attached. Limit Olli jump on you by ignoring the behavior or the use of so-called short isolation. time outs. Similarly, conduct yourself in case of barks, does not attribute importance to him until he barks, or use today's short-isolation for the closest door (up to 1minuty), consistently every time it starts to bark. Will also be useful to learn Olli commands such as' go to ... .. 'or' go / go "with, for example the couch. Take the puppy out of baby things: creams, nappies, rattles, etc. gryzakami. Learn Olli exercise on verbal command 'Sit', 'lie' and 'Stay' side of things the child. When the command will be firmly controlled, for the purposes of training and lie his toy among the belongings of the baby. If you do not obey commands and will try to reach for a toy or play with things a child, for any attempt to use a short isolation disobedience. If the dog remains in place nicely, give him a reward of his toy. Consistently use particular techniques of positive reinforcement, and soon you will have great results!

Treatment Fractures Of The Calcaneus

saturnismo, or " curse of succession "- Saturn, Jacek Dehnel

inspiration for Saturn were Black Images Goya, more accurately speaking, undermining the theory of their authorship. If you combine that with Jack's talent inherited from his mother Dehnel painter, and his past is a painter, it seems that this book could not get out from under his pen.

Saturn is a study of life in the shadow of the great father. And not only about the size of genius going on in the story, but also, and perhaps above all - a strong, authoritarian personality, Francisco de Goya.

De Goy is a disgusting man, by his son Javier considered jurnego wild, hungry satire wielbiącego ugliness, old age and illness (such were the paintings of Goya - a dark gloomy, dripping with old age and illness). What was de Goy, in fact - a perverse old man, for whom it was not impossible, if a sad man, fearing the loss of talent held? Despite deafness and age, who approached him for an imminent end yet still full of verve. Constantly seeking adventure and creativity, indefatigable in love conquests. The artist filled with repulsive features selfishly, without looking at the other absorbing life abundantly. Eternally dissatisfied with his one, which survived a child, loser son Javier in a cruel way all his life gave him a sense ( But unfortunately, lived only Javier. Unfortunately, only, and unfortunately Javier ). Javier did not remain great debt to his father. Overwhelmed by his personality and extraordinary talent can not operate as a separate entity, does not have the strength to get out from under the impact of the master. Did not understand admiration for his father's talent while it is paralyzed. Aware of the lack of their own life experiences fear of the great Francisco. Javier and his adult life, behaves all the time as bewildered child who is afraid of the heavy-handed father. Not able to oppose him even if it seems to him that his father seduces his very young wife, even if born son Javier strikingly similar to his grandfather. Even then he only, who defeated the deadly disease to the unborn child's father can not get close to him.

Poor Javier forced to conceal their aversion to the dark, full of pain, his father's image, it must also hide her little talent, but rather a passion for beautiful landscapes, lush and stimulating colors.

significant is the scene where Javier in a fit of inspiration is closed in his studio and paint work for a few days of life. Francisco de Goya restless and exuberant talent suddenly curious son, sneaks into the night to his studio to view a picture - and improves on the horse, which was painted by Javier seems to him unremarkable, unlike the horse ( Only the black horse from the left that's really ... just - I reached for a palette, (...) and I fixed this weird hump ). Javier on the second day surprised her nieudacznemu fragment and not realizing his father's interference przemalowuje back ( have seen the only black horse in the left corner - how could I let such a thing? Just wrapped sleeves and carefully so as not to kapnąć paint on clothes, I fixed the horse, strangely flat ). This scene clearly shows the ratio of father to son, and the differences which divide them.

book is divided into three votes, they argue Francisco de Goya, his son and grandson Mariano Javier. These short chapters are also their statements, their personal perspective on the same subjects. Reading Saturn the impression, as if listening to the discussion three men at once. They do not argue, they express their point of view. And only the only thing missing from this conversation is the true expression of women. They exist only in stories of men, not themselves have a voice in the life of de Goyim.

A women in my life Francisca scrolls are innumerable. De Goya's Life is an eternal quest for them, as the prosecution of an unequaled, as if for the love of carnal greed has lead to a noble purpose. And each successive conquest had extended his youth, add inspiration ( And, yes, ashamed to admit, some women also do not remember ).

Recall that to write a book led Professor Jack Dehnel Junquery theory, which - as he says he author of the book - puts the entire history of the founding head of black images . Painted on the walls of the house goy huge images, like love letters, lovers, Francisco de Goya and Martin Zapater, are to this unsolved mystery, which perhaps would help unravel the family. This, however, is silent and carefully hides the details of previously censored may bring us closer to the truth. The author was preparing to book very carefully and professionally, analyzing biographies, letters, and above all, spending hours on the analysis of images (which is particularly evident in interpreting the various sections of images and fragments thereof). It's the perfect preparation is reflected in the book, which is not just a collection of facts, dressed in a word for Dehnel but study of human nature and family relationships.

How To Make Dune Buggy Faster

Chwin Mr. and Miss Ferbelin

surprisingly different. Shockingly surprising. Friendships tangled or even seriously funny. Such contradictory terms opisałabym last novel by Stefan Chwin Miss Ferbelin . Although the title Miss Ferbelin is - like for example, another heroine of the author Esther - governess, the whole novel has little in common with his previous books. Miss Ferbelin also, as many previous books, the author describes the history of the past. But in this book, this past unexpectedly accumulates as vitamins In a nutshell - is all - the present and history at the same time. The story begins with mundane events - when the daughter of a carpenter - Cover Maria Ferbelin brings home the long-awaited contract to work for his father. House, which has long been credited not become happy and full of hope for a better tomorrow, even though this order is the same Prosecutor's Office and the concerns of ... the gallows, which somewhat cast a shadow over all of the previous euphoria. Unfortunately, despite the great joy and a big financial injection, what it brings order gained by Maria in a surprisingly-suspicious manner also brings a wave of misery. Beginning with the protests and harassment of the house carpenter to the hard work and effort invested in it okupionego disease. And then the unexpected happens, another event in the life of Mary - the same Prosecutor's Office receives a work at home Hammelsa prosecutor, where he is to be governess to his son, Helmut.

Miss Ferbelin is full of novel symbols of Gdansk, which also constitutes a kind of symbol, because it can, as a specific point on the map mean the whole country. The times in which the novel takes place are not further specified - You suspect that the action takes place at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. However, the complexity of the situation and their simultaneous divergence in the past are not unity, but in the book by Stefan Chwin it is. Finally, Miss Ferbelin is a novel about Christ, how jawiłby perhaps in the world today. O Christ niepasującym to today's church.

fate of all the heroes of the book in an unexpected and surprising way connected with each other, along the way stirring a clear and significant events in Polish history. And so we read about the strike at the shipyard, chaired by a man representing Christ (Kurt Niemand) niesionym workman on the doors torn from their frames, or the riots in Gdansk, which triggers an explosion at the station. There is also the figure depicting Pilate, who seems to Case for Christ (here Niemand, a man of Neustadt in the Rhineland - do not you associate it with Christ of Nazareth? "). In the novel, the story of Stefan Chwin perfectly combines with the legend, and the truth is mixed in seamlessly with fiction. It is as if the author mixed the paint, adding still new colors. This book is not only symbolic but eloquent and ambiguous, the perfect combination of history and modernity. Chwin simply dressed in contemporary costume history - so just imagine the novel, Miss Ferbelin - as staid lady in latex pants (associate to measure Christ aka Kurt walking arm in arm with Mary and dressed in black, long coat). But on the other hand, I find it hard to imagine Mary - I do not know whether it is dressed in the costume of the era (and, if so, which one?) Or which cause the my imagination the scene as it resembles an affair with ... Christ in a bold modern dress the modern woman? I also argue the streets of Gdansk images presented in the book: on the one hand hanging specter of war, on the other hand the splendor of the house the prosecutor did not allow me to offset that image. Somehow, it codified. But nothing I do not mind to read, and even gives it flavor and freshness, not only because of the difference, if we take into account the earlier book by Stefan Chwin.

reading a book, you can experience the impression of confusion, because these flashbacks to the days of Christ, the numerous references to events that took place either one thousand or ten years ago need to focus. Indefinite time course of history and co-exclusive date, which sometimes appear in the book - all this makes the book is both a difficult but interesting reading. And all these strange events make is that the book is read with more curiosity, each waiting for the next page, the next surprise. After coming to who is the man of Neustadt with healing power and the resurrection of the dead is not surprising so much with the appearance of an octopus Helgi providing results at the Sopot Hippodrome, or the name of the archbishop of Gdansk named Slavoy Gertz.

Both during reading Ferbelin Mary, and afterwards I felt that Stephen Chwin messed up in my head, but it was a pleasant feeling. Like someone with a joke telling the story, which is presented as more digestible. As if anyone in the sweet-bitter pill he wanted to present a significant fate for the Polish. Or maybe it's trying to prove that the author of Esther and Hanemann also able to joke about? Or, finally, also, to show that our whole life is a joke. Do we really know how much of what we experience and absorb the truth and what is a figment of our imagination? What happened, and what historians tell us, legends and distorted by many thousands of years stories. For what in the fiction of life is truth and what is also true in the living human hypocrisy. Among others, these questions come to mind after reading Mary Ferbelin .

Not so long ago, walking through the streets of Gdansk Oliwa (because on a trip through the streets of the Tri-City, in the footsteps of books Stefan Chwin weather would not let me, but everything in front of me) I thought to myself, I recognize that the ideal place with all the books I've read the author. However, those "with Mary Ferbelin " I find it hard to believe and I treat them like a good picture of a painter who painted it, after looking at the specific view, and yet, somehow I do not trust it all. I look and discern the truth somewhere.
