A cult novel, which is included in the hundreds of the most read according to Times. I went out in the sixties, in a bright time of protest of a new generation against greed,
depersonalization, wars and violence. Liberalism against traditionalism, a person against the foundations. The novel shocks depth, excites, makes you think about life, about
Justice, about the system and its infallibility, about the boundaries of madness and normality, about freedom, about the will, about the choice.
