Credo che la scrittura di Peter Hoeg sia affascinante. ho letto tanto tempo fa Il senso di Smilla per la neve, la donna e la scimmia, i quasi adatti (che ho trovato intimo e coinvolgente).

My opinion is that the translation from the original language into the English is poor. The essence of the story and the poetic and surreal language is totally lost in the translation.

It isn't commercially rendered but an artistic devotion. It incorporates a deep understanding of pain, social processes, and development of the beliefs associated with time. The clock and its impact on not only physics but the mind is explored as well as themes of abandonment and families or their absence. He could help us connect! Truly commendable.

The story most certainly traced the inside lining of Hoeg's psyche and wide ranging life experience. I am always intrigued by the author behind the story working the puppets. I have no doubt he understands poverty and riches combined. I liked how he illustrated his beliefs and courage. The coldness though. It cuts me like a knife. May gentleness come next. I liked the way Hoeg writes. The way he combined knowledge, feelings, and beliefs about geology, shipping, the Inuit, power, corruption in medical, academic and scientific circles, etc. I'm also drawn to imagine Hoeg's own psychological cleansing process and the spirit that powerfully moves the story forward and in going into the fearful unknown and brutal struggles finds connecting layers of a higher consciousness. It is refreshing in a natural and uncontrived fashion. I now ponder ... Is the character's coldness rooted in the temperature and climate? Or is she Hoeg's mother now strong and transformed? It was a triumphant ending and the ultimate revenge as evil is chased into the freezing water in parallel to what "the Baron" endured. Now the rooftop snow has transformed to ice and liquid depths. Put to rest. Why named "the Baron" when so foetal and unformed? I pictured infant-like ... amorphous as the worm. Is this novel a magnification or a true reflection? “Sense of Snow” was engaging and soul participating.

Is this novel a magnification or a true reflection?

When "The children of the elephant keepers" is finally translated into English, you are in for the greatest treat. It has been a very significant burden for my environment in London to hear me talk about a book they cannot read, yet. Now I do not know if you are the sort of person who has no fear of having very the highest expectations, like FCK going through to the Champions' League quarter final tomorrow. If you are this book will not disappoint, even if FCK does. Despair not. When “The children of the elephant keepers” is finally translated into English, you are in for the greatest treat.

It is always a shame when a great story is ruined by the ignorance of weaponry. When having a character pick up or describe a gun, the author should do a better job with terminology or have someone who knows guns write that portion for them. Perhaps it was the translators fault that the Ballester Molina handgun is describesd as a 6 shot revolver---WRONG. It is an Argentinian-made version of a .45 semi-auto pistol.
