Any book sobering is a gift not to refuse. Between classical verticality to horizontality barbaric, ie depth and superficiality effort and movement, Baricco makes a generally representative picture of changing times and defuses a frontal opposition stressing the barbaric part that lives in us. His false lightness and ended Culture (literature, football, wine, music ...) give a playful character to this test. The short passage on democracy is challenging and reminded me of the shock felt after reading the scanner Day Calvino.
