Whatever the socio-historical and geographical settings: the world, whatever the observed group is made of the juxtaposition and interaction of intelligences, nonsense sensibilities individual vanities and strategies similar backup, all detailed and thrown to exhaustion by the author whose hypochondria and complacency do not detract from the accuracy of the observations still beautifully decorated comparisons, metaphors and connections that make these texts so suggestive and convincing a treatise of sociology and psychology shaped large symphonic poem.
