Thus we venture into this abundant novel, between anecdotes of these broken men, melancholy and bruised, battered the course following the war and revolution, their many attempts to survive, love, forget. .. Without realizing, we quickly developed a passion for these life tips ransacked (mad love story of Leonid, for example, or the antics of actor Tibor Balazs, so beautiful and proud that he could not stand to live frugally).

This reading is undoubtedly a long moment of pleasure. It is a walk of another time, in a warm and flourishing context, but always marked by the wounds of the past, of the war, its betrayals, the loss of values and utopias too. I enjoyed every moment of this book, it made me feel uncomfortable, I did not want to leave, yet the reading is very long, more than 21 hours of listening, but seriously I did not see the time pass! I réinscris this book among my few moments of reading where I loved to lose track of time and found myself in the heart of exciting stories, shocking, heart with a pinch at having to leave them.
