Either this really is the most boring literary classic I have ever read, or the translation does not do it justice. ( )

A truly outstanding novel with richness of thought and design at every scale. The juxtaposition of mundane power/money grabbing and supernatural is unbelievably original, amazingly well executed and deeply moving. ( )
