Oscillating between history written "mystical" and the journey of four friends lack of rhythm (the conclusion of the novel ends up getting wait ...)
Jean d'Ormesson, from the views of digressions as history, is less fit than usual, and this novel, although well done is not worth more than another.
Nb: In the kind of discussions between friends full digressions, the novels of Jean-François Deniau "Tadjoura" and Michel Deon with "Hush, I hear an angel come ..." well worth "The creation of the world ".
