There is a guy living in Switzerland who doesn`t drink alcohol, who doesn`t smoke, who never had anything to do with women, and he`s something around 40. He places an ad in the local newspaper telling that he`s a greek man looking for a greek woman. And unexpectedly his ad has an reply. He meets a nice woman who supposedly is just a nobody, but when he`s on the street with her he suddenly becomes a celebrity. They fall in love quickly, but even quicker the man`s life starts topsing and turning. Until the day he met her, he was just an under-bookkeeper, but suddenly the boss of the company whom even over-bookkeepers never meet invites him to his office and offers the position of a director of a whole department. He`s also appointed a high clerical position, and he still can`t understand what the hell is wrong with the world. So he marries the woman and finds out that she`s the most famous courtisane in the country and that every highly placed man around him was her lover more than once. He`s furious and is even ready to leave her and some radicals ask him to kill the president of the country what he`s ready to do for he`s lost his faith. It turns out that the president is a nice fellow, so they make up and he even rejoins with his greek woman, and everyone lives happily ever after. I liked this piece of grothesque, Duerenmatt truly is the master of writing.

Ieprieksh tika veiktas prognozes, kas ko ieguus. Maneejaas atrodamas ieksh dialogi.lv, bet it`s not what i meant to say. Kaut kad Dienaa bija nopubliceetas, kaadas ir prognozes vieteejiem riktiigajiem ekspertiem - Ditai Rietumai un Normundam Naumanim.

Kaut arī opera sako, pret mūziku vienaldzīgs kļuvis neesmu. Aizvakar aizņēmos no kāda zināma Andreja DVD ar The White Stripes konci. Šodien beidzot to noskatījos. Un tas ir vienkārši satriecošs. Kaut gan iepriekš domāju, ka Straipiem ir maz labu dziesmu, tagad savu viedokli esmu spiests mainīt.

varbuut ne vienmeer, un visur. bet opera "Jenufa" muusu operaa sako. un tur neko nevaru padariit. varbuut es neuztveru paaraak augstu maakslu, bet man personiigi nepatiik, ka muuzika izklausaas peec instrumentu skanjoshanas un dziedaashana nav nekaadi saistiita ar muuziku. tad jau labaak klausiities grupu "Sveshie"....

Tava mugura ir silta un plata. Uz tās var lieliski apgulties un iemigt. Sapņi klājas viens uz otra, veidojot kupenas. Tu esi manas mājas.

Sen man nav bijusi shaada rubrika, bet nu taa atgriezusies (vismaz uz vienu dienu):

Back to Mr. D. once again! I don`t really know why I keep reading his books, probably because he has a lot of them in the library I visit occasionally. So, this one is a clear piece of satyre. Frank the Fifth is the owner of a private bank, but the times are hard, you know, and a private bank can`t survive unless you do some dirty work. Franks with lower numbers - his predecessors also did some nasty stuff but at least they were rich - one of them owned China, for example. But Frank the Fifth is a good fellow, he likes literature, but everyone who works for him is a crook and those crooks steal from the bank the whole time. On the other hand they also steal, lie and even murder FOR the bank. Then the things are going extremely bad, Frank immitates his own death, but it goes against the plan of his children who plan to take over the bank which their father wants to close. And the whole shebang goes on once again. The rest of the people is worse than Frank - he can`t even kill a person, unlike his wife, for example. Of course, this stuff is massive satyre, and it`s funny, if you ask my opinion. This Duerenmatt fellow knew how to write a good piece of satyre, that`s for sure.

I rarely divide my description of a single book in two parts, especially if this book consists of only two plays. But this will be the case, for this is the only way I can praise the Donkey`s Shadow as much as I intend to, and as much as it deserves. The whole situation is, of course, a bit of a paradox - when Struthion, a dentist (of the day of the ancient Greece), needs to go to the neighboring town to pay a visit to his client, he loans a donkey from a donkey-owner named Anthrax(who owns just this one donkey), and the owner joins him on the trip (for he`s got only one donkey and can`t do anything without the donkey). But the dentist is sensitive to the heat and while on the trip he wants to rest in the shade of donkey`s shadow. But the owner says - you only paid for riding the donkey, for using the shade you must pay me extra. So they end up in a court. Lawyers promise both of them impressive amounts of money for the victory but ask for a fair share for themselves as well. To pay the lawyers Struthion loses his praxis, while Anthrax sells his house, wife and daughter. Everyone in the town gets bribed, and radical "pro-donkey" and "contra-donkey" parties arise in the town, ending everything with a fire that burns the city down. And after that everyone wants to kill the donkey, as if the poor creature was responsible for their own stupidity. The ideas, the language, the situations - it`s all just so perfect that I can say nothing more than that it`s marvelous.
