Reviews – The Sacraments of Matrimony
Eliza Roha, prose writer, poet, playwright, literary critic
I liked the novella, it is, I think, cinematic, both the religious discourse and the descriptions of the splendors of the Bavarian Alps made me think of a film script, I could almost see in my mind what was happening there. Yes, this novella could be made into a film.
The flagrant contradiction between the good faith, adoration and hope in the soul of the bride and groom, willing to overcome the trials to which they are subjected to, and the behavior of Kleshtina, lacking sensitivity and kindness, recomposes, of course on a small scale, the great contradictions of humanity, good and evil complement each other everywhere.
Only a talented and long-practiced pen, and a lucid mind would have managed such a literary work that combines so cleverly, at the same time with romantic resonances, in the context of religious arrangements, an important episode in the life of a couple anchored in the strange realities of existence.
