This book review is NOT copied & pasted from a website, but is a synthesis of the numerous reviews the novel received at the time of its publication (in German 1986, in English 1995) as well as this Wiki-user's own opinions. As to the style and tone of the article, they only reflect the internationally recognised importance of this classic and its profound literary value. To support and substantiate this, I have added additional footnotes and references, and changed some of the text (to eliminate some of the too laudatory statements). Readers are invited to contribute more and more worthily if possible. Thank you! --Daubmir (talk) 20:22, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
