This romantic fresco is an excellent representation of the state of mind that reigns in the Western world, especially in times of crisis, with all its simplistic and caricatured visions.
A world of compliance and appearance, with its worldliness and its humanist postures or false generosity of footprints.
An opposition between world doctrinaire intellectuals, representatives of associations allegedly "selfless", like "Friends of the Global Progress", in reality poor and loose and, conversely, the evil capitalists, often in reality ingenious and creative beings, accused of all evils, the first of which selfishness, abstract concept and caricature, convenient to express the desire aroused by those who are buying a good conscience cheaply, oppose y beautiful concept called "progressive", which usually valid for others and involve little their initiators.

An extremely captivating novel that literally takes you in the guts. Absolutely shocking, as can be a concerto by Rachmaninov (both are also particularly well together).
A story that arouses enthusiasm in turn, hope, rage, feeling of revolt and despair, but also admiration for the courage, the will, determination and action.
A relentless analysis of the human mind, society, greed and human evil, the evil that hides not where it is believed, but rather where it intends to create the right, under the guise of generosity, altruism displayed, claimed the general or common interest. A real destruction of all sense and all creativity or intelligence.
A novel both eminently philosophical and an incomparable lesson in economics.
Roman profoundly philosophical, bearing both on politics, the economy, property, law and more fundamentally on the idea of freedom, an absolute masterpiece in the heart of psychology of man or crowds , a rare gem that is worth to be read.
