Dünya Klasikleri Dizisi: Monte Cristo Kontu - Alexandre Dumas ücretsiz kitap indir

Julia Vari vari7b1c7 — Sometimes you come across a book that you weren’t particularly keen to read but it blows you away with the sheer beauty of the story contained within its pages. The synopsis of Plain Kate doesn’t set it apart from the rest of the books in the genre. It doesn’t add anything to it that is wholly unique. There is nothing that prepares you for what’s inside. So you wander in, try a sentence. Or maybe two. Then before you know it, you have read a hundred pages and you simply must finish it because you have to know what happens in the end. If I were asked to explain what exactly appealed to me about Plain Kate, I would be at a loss about where to begin. Is it the beauty of the prose? Quiet, unassuming brilliance that flows over you and guides you into the world in which Kate exists. Or should I talk about how, even when the world is falling down around her, there are certain moments of beauty, like pockets of calm in the middle of chaos – that makes you hope for humanity even as humanity destroys itself. I think I will pick my favourite character in the novel. Taggles, the Cat. (Yes, Cat deserves its own capital C.) Animal characters are numerous in fiction and most of them are rendered beautifully (well okay, the ones I have read were) but the friendship between Taggles and Kate was steeped in sincerity. Ms. Bow managed to display their friendship without humanizing Taggles and I am eternally grateful for that. He retains his animal way of thinking, a way of thinking that is distinctly not human but despite that, he manages, in all the ways he is capable, to stay beside Kate and even protect her to a certain extent. Their friendship is one of the most poignant and beautiful things I have had the fortune to read in a very long time. Kate is composed by losses. She is a very complex character with many layers to her. The loss of her parents, home and eventually town always plays a part in defining her to a certain degree. When she gets tricked out of something she hadn’t even thought was important, she begins a journey and during that journey, she realizes who she really is. This is intentionally cryptic because anything else would be giving it away and it would be such a shame for you not to read this book. The love interest in this book, if you can actually say there is one, is just as enigmatic, just as interesting as Kate is. The ending of the book is not conventional. It’s not unhappy. But it’s not the same old trite endings other books are known for. The book is not the first in a series, though, to be honest, I would love to continue reading about Kate but when we do leave her in the end, she is on her way to becoming someone more, someone who is much stronger for the choices she has made and the things she has experienced and seen. Conclusion? Read the book. It is way too good to miss.
