Review:
There are some books that are not much read but nonetheless they serve as a kind of Bethlehem star for the whole literary movements and The Sleepwalkers is one of those.
Driven by that extraordinary oppression which falls on every human being when, childhood over, he begins to divine that he is fated to go on in isolation and unaided towards his own death; driven by this extraordinary oppression, which may with justice be called a fear of God, man looks round him for a companion hand in hand with whom he may tread the road to the dark portal…
The novel is full of fresh ideas and it institutes a new approach to reality: the beautiful romanticism of the old is dying (The Romantic), the dream of the purifying power of anarchy is fruitless and morbid (The Anarchist), and the only thing that remains is the eerie, roily and bleak actuality (The Realist).
We didn’t choose the world we were born into…
