  Splendid - but still inferior to the very similar "Till we have faces" and "L'età dell'oro".

  This Book is a pearl.
  Where else can you see a book in which original ideas are expressed?
  Where else can you find a book who's main character has the ability to make fun of everything is politically correct, without getting bitter?
  This book is a must read.
