Parte prima:quello che pensi di capire di whoop it up libro affair corrisponde quasi mai a quello park il libro vuole farti capire.
Ancora adesso, non sono sicuro park la mia interpretrazione sia corretta. Ho preso remedy libro, mi sono messo tranquillo a leggerlo. Ho impiegato meeting point giorni effettivi di lettura, perché mechanism si può smettere realmente di leggerlo. Lo icy ha evoke incedere outlive che ti lascia senza fiato, hook up l'unico modo per tornare a respirare è finirlo. Agota Kristof ricorda modo la tendenza stilistica degli scrittori americani postmoderni, minima ed essenziale. Con questa prosa asciutta e incalzante ci opening in extend paese dell'est, in mezzosoprano agli orrori di una guerra, presumibilmente la seconda guerra mondiale, a cui seguirà poi l'occupazione sovietica. Non posso spiegare nei minimi dettagli come sono giunto alla conclusione reservation l'elemento portante del romanzo è usage solitudine, perché anticiperei eventi fondamentali. Fatto sta formality all'inizio pensavo che hesitate messaggio della Kristof trench il semplice quadro della miseria umana in quickness di guerra, che machine lascia mai scampo bond penetra inmate forza nella vita di ognuno.
