Many remember The Scarlet Letter as required reading for reluctant sixteen year olds. The unnamed, elusive narrator of Hawthorne's «tale of human frailty and sorrow» is–some readers might say maddeningly–indirect, ambiguous, and inconsistent. Readers who hope to arrive at satisfying judgments about the book's four iconic characters–Hester, Arthur, Roger, and Pearl–are often left to arrive at their conclusions by guess and inference. The narrator provides what seems to be willfully...

Eine jede Seele erzählt eine Geschichte. Ein jeder Gedanke ist das Echo eines bisher gelebten Lebens. Ort der Handlung: Der Geburtstag einer betagten Angehörigen. Die Handlung: Aufstellung für das vereinende Familienfoto. Dabei beginnt der Flug durch die Gedanken und Seelen. Geschichten vereinen sich und Bilder entstehen. Am Ende ist alles eins im Seelendurchzug. Dann schweben die Gedanken wie Lebensmelodien über dem Dasein.

On 1980. aastad, sügav seisakuaeg, mil ihalus välismaiste asjade, olgu selleks siis pildiga kustukumm või firmateksased, ei olnud mitte ainult soov omada ilusaid asju, vaid tunne, mis neid omades tekkis: et sa oled natuke „vabam“. Autor kirjeldab sooja huumoriga äsja pioneeriks võetud Mai katseid leida kompromiss koduse kasvatuse ja õpetajate nõudmiste vahel. Lisaks peab Mai hakkama saama talle kaela määritud rühmapäeviku täitmisega, kuid kuidas seda teha, pole tal õrna aimugi. Raamat pakub...
