In the central chapters of the book she looks at the Protestant Reformation and the introduction of interest on loans and in this light analyzes the novels by Dickens, Irving, Thackeray and G. Eliot. Her final statement in the book is, however, about the ecological debt we all have to pay to Earth in order to ensure our existenceProvokativna knjiga Margaret Atwood vsebuje veliko literarnih referenc, ki pripomorejo k učinkovitemu poudarjanju njenih poudarkov o tako aktualni temi, kot je dolg, dolg kot filozofsko, politično-ekonomsko, versko in zgodovinsko vprašanje skozi stoletja. V osre-dnjih poglavjih knjige obravnava protestantsko reformacijo in uvedbo obresti na posojila ter v tej luči analizira romane Dickensa, Irvinga, Thackeraya in Georga Eliota. Njena zadnja izjava v knjigi pa govori o ekološkem dolgu, ki ga moramo vsi plačati Zemlji, da bi si zagotovili obstojTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
