Now this here, before we have to Professor Elias Rukla - "basically a high school teacher in his fifties, which is fortified with a woman who had spread a bit too" - and before him, his students yawning while Professor - our literature professor Norway, "fifty-something drunk" with his students in front of him, "says the drama of Ibsen, The Wild Duck students - those students who face yawning And you might be saying that the work is the loss of vital lie, says Reilling, one of the characters in the drama - secondary character, "if you remove vital lies an ordinary man takes away happiness while" Dr. Reilling phrase ("the spokesman Ibsen or not?) in the work leads to another character, perhaps explaining our teacher now Norwegian literature in front of students who yawn-(given as equal to that character in the play live all lies) but may not explain that. No. Maybe - our teacher, was asked why he needed Reilling Ibsen in drama. A Reilling! - A minor character only be seen when we discover that it is the frustrated suitor of another character, and perhaps at this moment in which our teacher-as Reilling, with a slight tremor or shaking when he enters the drama, has the feeling of having discovered something never before seen and efforts in pointing it out to his students - who are against it and yawn And then tell our teacher ratio Reilling , "Now is there. Trapped by their bitter fate as the eternally frustrated suitor of Mrs. Sorvy! Here we have fully embraced the drama for the first and last time! "
And probably our teacher - in his fifties, a minor character in his own life is while speaking as Reilling is, heavily involved in their own drama-the fleeting time, the decline of parents ideals the collapse of the beauty of a woman who is now his, but before it was her best friend, I idealized the first and last time, heavily involved in their own drama.
And that's why-because our teacher never thought of that drama of Ibsen and now he thinks so by going into the break and see that your umbrella will not open in any way, break the object-an object covering that hides as lying lid and students yawn-a thump on the floor clean the yard, jump on it, and as a Wild Duck - in the eyes of the students now hallucinating that yawned before he shouted at one of them - "Fox ! Eat greasy fat sandwich! "- And will Hence, our teacher-in your time of trembling, as it is when Reiling shows his eternal figure of a rejected lover. And walking cast by Oslo and under development - our teacher, his hand bloodied by the broken umbrella, retracing all his life a new meaning - why Dag Solstad, the author of this novel will give Elias as the gift Reilling Ibsen the last word in last sentence that may end this also there to offer - our teacher, "a moment of trembling against a frozen target": - It is terrible but there is no way back And be true. Why will not the years have passed and nothing was as it could expected, or nothing was as stated.
With an obsessive and circular prose, rhythm naughty decanted along the text, Dag Solstad, gives us the story of a breakdown (the collapse of a man, of society that believes in the values \u200b\u200bthat up). An acidic and biting story told in an instant (the tremor) by passing an entire lifetime and may or may not be a rereading of the Wild Duck (Dag Solstad first class uses the novel as if the legend a map, a map will be after the life of Professor Elias Roukes) but in which it is better that we do not yawn as students, you may lose the keys to understanding which will (probably) our own collapse when time is charged in a single stroke, at close range, while all his victims.
should perhaps sometimes to remember, to idealize our universe, its representative agreements, "a door is just a door." As Solstad warns us in the first paragraph "in the background was a school teacher in his fifties, some fortified, with a woman who had spread a bit too much and with whom he had breakfast every morning."
