Laddar... Irländsk dagbok (1957)av Heinrich Böll
![]() German Literature (123) Tour of Ireland (15) Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Negentien goed geschreven schetsen over de Ieren, vaak in het westen, door een buitenlander. Soms is de schrijver aanwezig, soms niet. Bijna een reisverhaal. ( ![]() One of my favourite books overall. And I liked the Russian translation more than the English one. (And, interestingly, was not able to find a German version online, probably my Googling skillz are still weak in that language, or they care about copyright far more than other countries.) Small stories that relate how time goes on within the Irish society after the war. The daily "no problem" life of an easy-going people, that resigns to accetp its fate: from the invariably rainy weather to the emigration must. Böll describes with great accuracy in a delightful smooth way the landscapes, the houses, the farmer daily work, the rain, the pub, the arriving sailor, the society, the hours... slowly fighting against the clock. Böll also portrays often the Irish society and their optimistic doing against tragedy, as the opposite to the German folk. Nice reading. Full of humour, observation and humanity. A great book by a great writer. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

In this portrait of Ireland, seen through the eyes of a novelist and a stranger, Heinrich Boell offers an evocation of the lilt of the voices, the laughter of the children, the smell of the wet earth, and the warm, heady friendliness of the pubs. Travelling with his wife and children, Boell struggles with the intricacies of foreign exchange, eavesdrops on conversations aboard a steamer, and tramps through rain-soaked peat.
