"And the answer is this: the revolution is a hurricane, and when a man surrenders himself to her, he ceases to be a man and becomes, instead, a lowly leaf blown wildly about by the winds... (p.60)"

I think this line very adequately sums up the book. Sergio Waisman's translation is amazing and I found myself constantly referencing the note section which was very informative.
