Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received.

Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them. This controversial portrayal of Viennese artistic circles begins as the writer-narrator arrives at an 'artistic dinner' given by a composer and his society wife—a couple that the writer once admired but has now come to loathe. The guest of honor, an actor from the Burgtheater, is late. As the other guests wait impatiently, they are seen through the critical eye of the narrator, who begins a silent but frenzied, sometimes maniacal, and often ambivalent tirade against these former friends, most of whom were brought together by the woman whom they had buried that day. Reflections on Joana's life and suicide are mixed with these denunciations until the famous actor arrives, bringing a culmination to the evening for which the narrator had not even thought to hope. Novel "Woodcutters" takes place during one evening through so-called artistic dinner given by a couple of narrator’s former friends. A pretext for the dinner is a visit of known actor, but the real reason is a suicidal death of their mutual friend, unfulfilled artist Joana. And that way a celebration for the actor transforms into a funeral reception. What would come of it? Nothing good except a gripping writing. und er sagte, wieder Suppe löffelnd, und zwar alle zwei Wörter einen Löffel Suppe nehmend, also er sagte der Ekdal und löffelte Suppe und sagte war schon und löffelte Suppe und immer meine und löffelte Suppe und sagte Lieblingsrolle gewesen und löffelte Suppe […] Being unable to make people more reasonable, I preferred to be happy away from them.

Once you get over how funny this book is, it turns quietly sad. There’s that complicated feeling when one has an intense love-hate of their city and their people (and themselves), and that old adage of how you can never really escape who you are and where you come from, no matter how much you turn up your nose. And by the way, all those people you’re making fun of? You’re just as vile and pedantic, if not more. I wonder about Austria, don't you? Both Bernhard and Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke seem to have harbored a virulent hatred of their native country. While I sense the depths of their antipathy, I wonder what it is that is peculiar to Austrian society that they dislike. Is there an Austrian condition -- or a particular variety of decadence -- that can be defined or delimited from that of Europe or the 'Western World' in general? But to John’s astonishment, Peter had actually cut down more wood. How did this even happen? “How could you have chopped down more trees than me? I heard you stop working every hour for fifteen minutes!”, exclaimed John.Everybody, everywhere seems to be busy. Most people are just too busy doing and trying to achieve that they do not take the necessary time to renew themselves, to learn and grow—to sharpen the “axe”. How exactly do you sharpen the axe? or competitive, but we do not like to use the term “cheap”. In our opinion, if something is being sold “cheap”, it usually is a “cheap” product or simply “You get what you pay for”. Bernhard's satire of Viennese petit bourgeois society is one long frantic, hateful, angry, and at times even nostalgic internal monologue. It’s narrated as if it’s one deep exhale by an aging writer who has returned to Vienna after several decades away and has reunited with people he “didn’t like 30 years ago and doesn’t like now.” He spends the majority of the novel sitting in the corner at a dinner party hating everything about everyone, and hating himself even more for attending. That’s it. But, it’s fascinating. Auch wenn Sie den Drang oder die Manie haben, jetzt hundertprozentig die Wahrheit zu schreiben, gelingt es Ihnen nicht, weil Sie müßten die Wirklichkeit auf‘s Papier klatschen können, das geht nicht. In dem Moment aber, wie Sie mit stilistischen Mitteln und Sprache drangehen, ist es etwas anderes und auf jeden Fall eine Verfälschung, aber vielleicht eine Annäherung.“

Exaggeration. Hyperbole is used throughout - a metaphor of exaggeration, a figure of anger. It strengthens the picture of "the enemy", and by using this type of rhetoric, you can distance yourself from the thing you criticize. The novel makes war on people, social norms and certain types of behavior. But hyperboles are often difficult to take seriously. There is too much patos, it's all to exaggerated (and sometimes quite funny). The main character might have some good points, but he gives us no evidence. He is definitely an unreliable narrator, albeit an eloquent one. This makes me ponder what his intention is. Is he really trying to convince us, or himself, of something, or does his rhythmic, intense and energizing anger have some other purpose? Woodcutter's Bar and Grill is one of the higher end restaurants at Alton Towers and is located in Fountain Square next to Yesterday a coworker was criticizing someone we work with for being the man he knew who wanted to be high society more than any other man he ever knew. I caught myself from replying "But what about Auersberger?" in excited, "Yeah, I know!" tones. (This man's only crime is wearing dorky sweater vests and playing tennis. He's hardly Auesberger!) I do that a lot. Book people are real people to me and I take it way too seriously. That's why I don't think I could ever start referring to anything as artistic anything. I would hate myself if I ever did. It wouldn't feel really me. Real me doesn't make art. It stumbles in repeat sentences. Similar to Stone Spirits, Wood Spirits are an item that while chopping relevant trees (e.g Willow Spirit → Willow Tree) will be consumed to grant an additional log to increase your logging potential massively!

Welcome to Woodcutters Restaurant at Nikola Estate

The cruel thing is when you need people and when you don't need them and you spit them out. There's a loss and a doubt in their place. When this unrelenting attitude is not displayed from the winged chair, it’s from a dinner table as the actor arrives, for whom they’ve been waiting for. The all-inclusive dinner is reminiscent of this scene from Beetlejuice: You’ve always lived a life of pretense, not a real life – a simulated existence, not a genuine existence. Everything about you, everything you are, has always been pretense, never genuine, never real. Kurz gesagt, ich bin begeistert und freue mich schon, bald seinen nächsten und achten Roman Alte Meister zu lesen.

At "My Wood Cutters", you can find pretty much all common cutting tools for woodworkers. This includes replacement knives for planers and jointers, shaper cutters, Helical cutter heads for planers and jointers, and even molding knives for all common molding machines Auch wenn man Personen und Fakten in diesem autobiografisch inspirierten Schlüsselroman eindeutig einer äußeren Realität zuordnen kann, sind sie nur der Lehm, die Pigmente und Partikeln, aus denen Bernhard seinen Roman als neues und eigenständiges Kunstwerk formt und dabei eher wie ein Komponist vorgeht als ein Autor, indem er sein Material vor allem in einen formalen und rhythmischen Zusammenhang bringt. El narrador de Woodcutters no tiene su momento magdalena —que hubiera sido un momento champán, en todo caso— pero lentamente se va dando cuenta de que ni él es tan diferente, ni los demás son completamente estúpidos. Bueno, la mayoría sí, pero algunos —incluso el infecto actor del Burgtheater—, de vez en cuando, si se le escucha en lugar de juzgarles por su imagen pública, dicen cosas interesantes. Es más, algunos tienen el valor de expresar en voz alta lo que el narrador solo se atreve a rumiar para sí. I thought, sitting in the wing chair, he’s the archetypal mindless ham, who’s always been popular at the Burgtheater and in Austria generally, utterly devoid of imagination and hence of wit, one of those unspeakable emotionalists who tread the boards of the Burgtheater every evening in droves, wringing their hands in their unnatural provincial fashion, falling upon whatever work is being performed, and clubbing it to death with the sheer brute force of their histrionics.People hated me and everything I wrote, and ganged up against me in the most vicious fashion whenever they saw me. But ever since my return from London I had been on my guard against them, against all the people I had known previously, but above all against these so-called artistic figures from the fifties, and especially those who had come to this artistic dinner. To get ourselves out of a tight spot, it seems to me, we are ourselves just as mendacious as those we are always accusing of mendacity, those whom we despise and drag in the dirt for their mendacity; we are not one jot better than the people we constantly find objectionable and insufferable, those repellent people with whom we want to have as few dealings as possible, though; if we are honest, we do have dealings with them and are no different from them. For there’s no doubt that thirty or even twenty years ago all these people were happy, but now they’re unutterably depressing, every bit as depressing and unhappy as I am myself, I thought as I sat in the wing chair. As with the previous updates, there is a new shiny extension to the Fort, this time in the form of a domicile for your new Woodcutting friend and the adjacent Grove he will be managing and cultivating for you.
