It was necessary to the pellet Jerome Ferrari for resonating the little banal human history Libero and Matthew, with great history, that of St. Augustine trying to comfort his contemporaries about the fragility of empires after the fall of Rome. I attacked this short novel backwards because I thought it took pati-pretentious and I had read too many negative comments. Yet the novel was for me a few surprises too of school. Of course you can be annoyed by these extensions to sentences, but are we not in a tragedy, that precisely of the human condition? and it deserves a little pump. It can also be irritated by a sometimes confusing building to changes in unannounced views. But that does not float it-yourself highlights the parallel between the fate of the grandfather and her grand-son, one who understood the tragedy and absurdity of the human condition and the other wrong soon to make the sad experience? No need to introduce the Corsican adventure of these two boys that reminds us the vanity of our businesses that can destroy grain of sand but also tells us that man has within himself the strength to recover from the collapse of its dreams. Also beautiful metaphor about the death of societies, ours certainly, but history has shown us that men adapt and that life continues. A novel not so pessimistic as it seems at first.
