This short novel by Polish Włodzimierz Odojewski part of a great idea: Marek, a child of nine years, wants his mother to drive Venice, the city of his dreams, to enjoy canals and palaces as seen in pictures. But she decides that it is good time to take that trip, so I carried with her aunt in a cottage. There, which in principle is boring will become similar to what Marek expect to find in Venice. The year is 1939 and the first bombs of World War II begin to fall over Poland.
The premise, as I said, it's brilliant that here is evocative of fantasy with some children, during wartime, all I want is to have the best possible. Their families are in the fantasy percisamente a good way to distract the children in an exercise very similar to Robert Benigni did in Life Is Beautiful (1997) three years before writing this novel Odojewski (2000). However, I must say that although the idea is very exciting and although in the novel there are occasional brutal image, overall I found it too heavy reading.
Although a short novel, some passages are longer too due to some moments when it seems that the rhythm is stopped at the mercy of the author descriptions of certain situations, and that could have been solved with less recreation. I understand that the author was looking for a story where impose imagination to reality, but to finish enjoying the novel, had required and that other kinds of Planteamiento Odojewski no hubiese tanto en las imágenes confident that both describe with detail on everything that has teniendo esa idea in the imagination of the enzyme by us is already reality Demasiado familiar.
