This is my second reading. The first was in 7th grade over 40 years ago when I read the entire book in a single long day. I don't remember any of it so decided to try again a bit slower. Of course it is a classic thus 5 stars. It's heavily influenced by The Hobbit which Adams said it was - the world building, language, history, epic scale, fantasy, quest stories.(It's not nearly as well written as the Hobbit.) Both are the products of wartime experiences. They offer a lesson of learning to work together with other animals/creatures/people outside your home community/country/species for a collective goal of peace and prosperity. It's kind of old-fashioned in a socialist way, no accident the bad guys have fascist overtones. These books can't escape the context of the times or authors. Still, they are powerfully imaginative and influential. Unlike The Hobbit, there is a good chance I'll never read it again, but happy to have had two while young and sort of old. ( ![]() Honestly, I think this is my favourite novel ever. I've loved it since I was a child and every re-read brings new perspectives. Really a great novel. Read with Sophi. Treasured memory. It's a story about talking bunnies and their adventures. What more do you want? Una delle migliori letture del 2009, un classico che, non so perché, non era mai giunto tra le mie mani. Se l'avessi letto prima,magari a 15 anni, probabilmente sarebbe diventato uno dei libri del mio cuore ma anche letto a trent'anni "La collina dei conigli" non perde minimamente la sua forza. Sento già alcuni di voi che diranno:" ma parla di conigli!!" Si parla di conigli, ma nella storia che racconta questo libro conta poco a quale specie appartengano i protagonisti perché si tratta di una storia fatta di archetipi universali: l'esodo, la terra promessa, la paura, la guerra i re e gli eroi. Archetipi, questi, al servizio di una struttura narrativa antica ma perfetta. Se proprio volessi trovare un difetto in quest'opera sarebbe un difetto di tipo ideologico (che ci volete fare? Sono un fottuto comunista) e riguarda la considerazione delle figure femminili che vengono relegate al semplice ruolo di scavatrici di tane e sfornamarmocchi, scelta del tutto ingiustificata, visto che, in natura, i conigli hanno una struttura sociale matriarcale. Nonostante questo si tratta di un libro potente dal grande fascino che deve essere letto assolutamente.
Watership Down offers little to build a literary cult upon. On the American-whimsy exchange, one Tolkien hobbit should still be worth a dozen talking rabbits. This bunny-rabbit novel not only steers mostly clear of the usual sticky, anthropomorphic pitfalls of your common garden-variety of bunny rabbit story: it is also quite marvelous for a while, and after it stops being marvelous, it settles down to be pretty good- a book you can live with from start to finish. Pure brilliance.
