difficult to evaluate a novel widely regarded as controversial. I usually do not read the earlier reviews that did not give them to manipulate or in any way to imply. This time I had to read over a thousand pages, and if reading more and more interesting to see what others think of this novel.
"gracious" is the story of Maximilian Aue, an SS officer. Together with the military crawl the length and breadth of Europe. The author describes the Third Reich, of course, but also occupied Poland, France, Hungary, the territories of Soviet Russia. The main character is moved from place to place, supervise, inter alia, the concentration camps in Auschwitz, and the siege Staliningradu.
The most commented story plot are homosexual and incestuous tendencies hero, by the way I think homosexuality character translation is very biased and far-fetched. Evaluation of "gracious" merely descriptive because of the very broad sphere of sexual pushes the reader to compare the degree of degeneration obvious hero to the state under the rule of Nazi Germany.
War in Littell's novel has a truly Kafka dimension. Subtle intellectuals, friends of Dr. Aue, how to explain to crack down on a philosophically Endlusung logical. Most of them are idealists, but some people are pragmatists who try to gain as much as possible, in fact, the Third Reich, in the background happens to total war, in which the problem is the lack of the graves and the lack of ammunition. Termination of all types of taboos, which was based on nineteenth-century and interwar society on that with great power comes unlimited evil totalitarian, and education and intelgenckie inclinations are just elegant, but nothing worth sheath.
write this novel, certainly require the developer putting great effort in searching histriograficzny and among other things for it belonged to the author Goncourt Prize. However, while reading, despite the undeniable talent and zarzymywania intrygowania reader while reading, one gets the impression that the author has a clear tendencies grafomańskie. Despite this "loving" we know it and form their own opinions about them.
