"As far as I could gather until I was fifty-two, no one ever heard a discouraging or malicious statement about me. I was, in fact, quite nameless and invisible, so discreet that nobody ever took notice of my existence." Then the protagonist of this short novel speaks the truth about an important industrialist--that he is a murderer. His utterance becomes the "fatal experience" that turns his life upside down. This novel is a Kafkaesque attack on conformity. While the protagonist has opportunities to recant what he said, and slip back into polite society, he chooses not to, although his comfortable life falls apart. On an intellectual level, this book was an interesting read. However, on an emotional level I never connected with the main character or with the book as a whole. The plot and characters took second place to "the point" of the story. I need more than a "lesson" from a novel. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
During his long and distinguished career, the Croatian writer Miroslav Krleza (1893-1981) battled against many forms of tyranny. In On the Edge of Reason, his protagonist is a middle-aged lawyer whose life and career have been eminently respectable and respected. One evening, at a party attended by the local elite, he inadvertently blurts out an honest thought. From this moment, all hell breaks loose.... On the Edge of Reason reveals the fundamental chasm between conformity and individuality. As folly piles on folly, hypocrisy on hypocrisy, reason itself begins to give way, and the edge between reality and unreality disappears. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Probabilmente in qualsiasi altro momento il suo stile mi sarebbe sembrato ridondante e rintronante, invece le crepe nel terreno rimaste dopo la lettura della Mueller sono state irrorate dalla prosa ricca di humus immaginifico di Krleza. Facendomela gustare appieno.
Al netto delle felici circostanze che hanno favorito la lettura di quest'opera, pur senza essere io un gran critico o che, anche solo per una questione di logica terra terra, mi sento comunque di potere scrivere che, essendo Krleza imprescindibile nella letteratura degli slavi del sud, allora DI SICURO lo è anche per la letteratura europea. Ma chi lo conosceva fino a pochi mesi fa? (Io no di certo) E' generalmente noto anche solo la metà di quel che potrebbe/dovrebbe essere? (No)
Nascere a Zagabria non ti ha favorito, Miro! Meriteresti di più! Bravissimi quelli della Studio Tesi di Pordenone (la quale credo abbia chiuso i battenti da mo'! :-(( ) ( )
