Resenhas
The Military Philosophers: Book Nine of A Dance to… de Anthony Powell
Cheio de nuances, retrata uma série de personagens nas encruzilhadas da vida, por possuírem papéis a eles impingidos pelas exigências da Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este romance de costumes sociais tange a tragédia na medida em que o destino de alguns é função das forças particulares que regem uma nação em guerra.
