Boring.

There are some books that are informative, but not really inspirational. There are some older books that are no longer informative, but are nevertheless inspirational, and fun to read. This one is a "no-no" book. All the information (assumptions, conclusions) is obsolete; the social theses are inapplicable to our times; the hidden polemics is no longer relevant. And at the same time - the faith you can guess behind the text - is not inspirational.

A waste of time, a book of purely historical interest.
