Zwischen Land und See | 'Twixt Land and Sea

Flea market book reading on a rainy day - this collection of three Joseph Conrad novellas is just awesome! This is especially true for the third novella, "Freya of the Seven Isles", a breathtaking love and triangle story that ends extremely unhappily, as the booted-out third in this story turns out to represent absolute, abysmal evil itself.

 

This morally depraved Lieutenant Heemskirk inevitably reminded me of a morally depraved country that is currently waging a criminal war against a neighboring country and committing crimes there on an incomparably greater scale.

 

Russia has unfortunately become the epitome of absolute, abysmal evil; Putin and Kyril I, who run the country politically and religiously, are clearly spawns of hell.
