Youth Without Youth by Mircea Eliade
4.0
Wow! That's certainly something!
I thought the book is weirdly lopsided. The first two parts (basically a half of the novella) cover relatively small ground time- and happenings-wise. But the way the book ultimately goes beyond what I remembered about the movie, its ultimate shape and breadth took a wind out of me. A real Life, the Universe and Everything kind of book.
Of course, this is very intellectualized, not too much naked emotionality, but what else do you expect from an academic?
