Onüç Günün Mektupları - Cemal Süreya ücretsiz kitap indir

Manuel Fleig fleig — I liked this book a lot, partly because I thought it was more theologically complex than some of Greene's other "catholic" novels, which can seem fixated on betrayal. The issues in Brighton Rock were richer and more interesting. The contrast between Ida, whose worldly sense of right and wrong makes her a good person, and Pinkie, who is evil yet has a more robust moral code, is fascinating. Both select their own moral code, which Ida justifies with the rubric "just a harmless bit of fun," while Pinkie (who is much more honest about his sins) clings to the idea of a last minute conversion. Pinkie's character is particularly interesting in that without doing anything remotely attractive he becomes sympathetic to a certain degree. There is something very sad about a boy so bound by his upbringing, his priggishness, and his need to model himself after his criminal predecessor, Kite, that he cannot imagine any afterlife but hell. Rose, meanwhile, is my favorite character. Initially she seems capable of merging the best qualities of Ida and Pinkie, possessing the former's decency and the latter's church-instilled moral code. Instead, her fierce love of Pinkie leads her to embrace damnation as a way of staying with him. Everyone treats her as a simple innocent, but she is most cognizant of what she is doing: Ida's actions are dictated by instinct or a ouija board, while Pinkie's hopes for a deathbed repentence are revealed by the middle of the novel to be little more than self-deception. Rose's devotion would be terribly romantic were it not terribly misplaced, which the ending suggests will be revealed to her in the cruelest possible way. This is my other reason for liking the novel: it is very bleak in style as well as subject matter. I don't recall there being writing this beautiful in other Greene novels. It's very noir, which is an appropriate comparison given that evidently Greene always intended the novel to be made into a movie. Brighton Rock isn't perfect. I found much of the material dealing with Pinkie's gang a little dull and not particularly necessary to the story or characters. In fact, I think it dissipates some of the tension that there are so many deaths towards the end of the book. One thing I liked about the set-up of the story and death of "Fred" was that murder was clearly very serious business, even to these hardened criminals. As the body count started to rise, the need to take drastic measures to protect oneself from discovery of the first crime seemed less and less plausible.
