Realized I couldn't tell you anything that happened past meeting the family and the dolls house. Wasn't remembering any of the relationships or names so a bit of a lost cause

Scritto in maniera secondo me davvero magistrale, questo classico senza tempo continua a rivelarsi attualissimo.
Un po' lenti i capitoli sulla guerra e in particolare sulle battaglie, in cui sono andato un po' a rilento. Sono compensati da quelli in cui si parla della vita di corte, che sono invece tutti chirurgici per come indagano l'animo dei personaggi.
Qualcuno di loro scompare (Boris, che fine fa?), altri muoiono, altri risorgono. Il finale (del romanzo) colpisce fortissimo in un punto debole per credo tutti i figli. Il finale (del saggio) invece pallosissimo: ripete le stesse idee che con più chiarezza e sintesi aveva difeso a metà libro.
