One sentence summary:
"If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war." Review:
I read this the summer I was 17, a lot of it went over my head but it was a beautiful read. This novel is one of the ones that most people like me read because they are supposed to read it and through reading it come to a different understanding of the world (over my teenage summers I tackled one big work a year, The Complete Works of Shakespeare Les Miserable, Moby Dick, War and Peace, Don Quixote and a collection of philosophical studies). This was well worth reading, the writing was not as difficult as I thought it would be, the story has ups and downs as well as well thought out characters and relationships. I highly recommend that anyone who is a "reader" read this work, I do not recommend it to anyone else as it would be far to intimidating.
If you enjoyed this you should read the other "classic reads"
"We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom."
