It doesn’t feel forced, actually, chronologically speaking, the narration flows naturally from one moment to the next. Crezi ca eu n-am facut?

They are all parasites, living one after one’s tragedy, begging for anything. Mar 16, Raluca Colac rated it really liked calinnescu. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.
Toata familia Tulea e detestabila. Ashamed, Felix writes down all his sentiments towards her, sending a letter, but without an answer.
A trebuit sa inot printre luuungi si chinuitoare pagini cu alde Aglae si Stanica, in defavoarea unor personaje cu adevarat interesante. Tocmai de aceea a si plecat de langa Felix, tocmai de aceea a si fugit cu Leonida la Paris de doua ori. A luat ceva timp pana sa o termin, iar cand valinescu lucru s-a intamplat, am fost luata prin surprindere.
Chiar mi-a placut cand am citit-o. His uncle and tutor, Costache Giurgiuveanu, is a rapacious old man who lives with his step- daughter Otilia, who in turn studies the piano at the Bucharest Conservatory.
Ce-i drept, asta doar subliniaza cat de meschina fusese familia Tulea si e o intorsatura ‘ironic-piscatoare’. Nu ne-am mai opri. But seeing as he starts being delirious, Aglae, helped by Stanica and Weissmann take him to a sanatorium.

He finds comfort in the hands of a courtesan, Georgeta. One of his finest novels, Enigma Otilieiwas published inand it focuses on the bourgeoisie populating the calienscu city of Bucharest at the beginning of the 20 th century.

Enigma Otiliei
O opera ce ne arata atat frumusetea, cat si durerea provocata de prima dragoste, trairi amplificate de tanarul Felix Sima. Her caring towards Felix seems more to be as the one of a sister. Jul 14, Mihaela Diana Ciocan rated it it was amazing. Made up twenty chapters, it follows the overlapping lives of different characters: Goana dupa bani face sufletul omului putred.
They also brought to mind family members, otilie Lei great money for the beginning of the 20 th cebtury. Otilia isi traia viata, incercand sa fie indiferenta, sa se ridice mai presus de ceilalti, dar sa faca, totusi, ceea ce-i place. No trivia or quizzes yet.

Dupa ce Felix, caracterul principal umbla dupa vara-sa vitrega ca un pichinez in calduri, iese din closet ca fiind un homosexual cand primeste sansa sa fie callinescu cu vara-sa nu asta vroia de la inceput??? Stanica divorces Olimpia and marries Georgeta, entering in politics afterwards.
Stanica meets Felix with Lili, startling Titi which is attracted by the girl, and unable to understand the female attraction towards doctor Sima Felix.
Este intr-adevar un roman realist – chiar daca actiunea este de la inceputul anilornoi intalnim astfel de femei, astfel de comportament si in zilele noastre. Este un roman ce necesita rabdare, ce are, intr-adevar, multa descriere care trebuie gustata asa cum trebuie.
Recommended to Mina by: Costache has another heart attack and dies. I find Otilia really clever, but the stereotype that the woman must not be an erudite is planted so deeply in her mind that it makes her look stupid and foolish for most of the time.
Nov 15, Dumitru rated it liked it. Like a romantic person that he is, he falls for it and trusts her, which is bringing him only disappointment because she has left him every time when she promised him otherwise.
