A powerful, unforgettable novel that is, indeed, a meditation on the human condition. It is especially interesting in light of China's subsequent history.

Didn’t Like It

Very depressing and black. A tedious read with no depth to the characters or places.

    A scheduled read from a European Lit class I took in college. It was a great class and a great teacher. Definitely worth the time as is MAN'S HOPE.

    I should read it again. This was torture - I mean assigned reading - for a college lit class which I wasn't receptive to at age 19. I should try it again thirty years later.

    Not much of my liking, it was a mandatory read for school.

    A dark story of back-stabbing, sneaky, self-serving people manipulating their way out of a lost war effort.
