Çiçek gibi 5 öykü. Mr.Wakefield'ın öyküsünden bir roman çıkardı, çok ilginç bir konusu vardı. Büyük Taş Yüz, hep beklenen o insanın aslında içimizde oluşunu anlatıyordu bence.

30 kitaptan oluşan Jorge Luis Borges'in Babil Kitaplığı serisinde Büyük Taş Yüz okuduğum 11. kitaptı ve şimdiye kadar okuduklarım arasında Oscar Wilde'ın Lord Arthur Savile'in Suçu isimli kitabıyla birlikte en sevdiğim iki kitaptan biri oldu. Kitaptaki 5 öykünün hepsini sevdim ama özellikle Ateşe Ve
İlk öykü olan Wakefield dışında keyif almadım, bu kitaptan.
1800'lerin öykü anlayışına uzağım galiba. Poe hariç :)
Başarılı alegorik öyküler var içinde; tür olarak farklılıklar gösteriyor çoğu da. Özellikle 'Ateşe Verilen Dünya' isimli öykü hoş, devrim ve devinimlerin önceki yaşantıları mahvedebilme kapasitesine dikkat çekiyor.
"Yazık, ne büyük bir yanılgı! Belki zamanla en gözde çılgınlıklarımız sona erer, ama k
