The front-door bell rang sharply, and he started up in a breathless agony of terror, with both hands at his throat. They had come back—he had sat there dreaming, and let the precious time slip away—and now he must see their faces and hear their cruel tongues—their sneers and comments—If only he had a knife———
He looked desperately round the room. His mother's work-basket stood in a little cupboard; surely there would be scissors; he might sever an artery. No; the sheet and nail were safer, if he had time.
He dragged the counterpane from his bed, and with frantic haste began tearing off a strip. The sound of footsteps came up the stairs. No; the strip was too wide; it would not tie firmly; and there must be a noose. He worked fa. . . Read More

احتمالاً خانم «اتل لیلیان وینیچ» نام کتاب و شخصیت «خرمگس» را بر اساس سخنرانیِ سقراط در محاکمهاش برگزیده باشد، جایی که سقراط میگفت فرستادهی خداست تا خرمگسی برای جامعهی آتن باشد. جامعهای نجیب، اما سست و بیرمق. خرمگسی که مردم آتن را خشمگین میکند تا آنها به «عمل» وادارد.

یک کتاب انقلابی و سیاسی که اصلا برای من کشش نداشت و چطور عده ای با این کتاب گریستند
" اینها به نظرم همون دسته ای هستن که زندگیشونو از کیمیاگر الهام گرفتن "

عجب داستانی! چرا زودتر نخونده بودمش؟!
