A basic fiction/philosophy book December 21, 1998 11 out of 17 found this review helpful
Well, since I'm the one person who read it, I suppose I'm talkin to meself, but I thought that this is one of the greatest books I've ever read. The main purpose of this book is to examine the minds of people with no short, medium, or long term plans (disposessed french soldiers) when facing confrontation with an alternate culture in which everything falls under a master plan (the Nazi invaders.) Lots of good commentary between the lines on topics such as human nature, art, sociology, and moderate international politics of the '40s. A very humbling book, if you're an egotist; a very profound book if you're a fatalist. I've passed it along to a few potheads, and they seem to think it's a very good book too.
