This is the most fascinating book one has ever read before. This book tells us about the only thing, which is interesting for a human being - solitute. Tne iternal solitute. The auther explains that all man's efforts to imporove his own nature a re in vain, if you do not comprehend the nature of his own solitude. This book brough me the enourmous sadness. This should be so. Also, I'd like to note, that we, in USA, do not encourage, young man, who long to read such beautiful books, likes Marquez's "100 anos de soledad". Our government should encourage young talents (gifted)and provide us with "100 .." free. That's all. Thanx.
