Foreword [T]he world has always gone through periods of madness so as to advance a bit on the road to reason. Ch. 11 What's important is promising something to the people, not actually keeping those promises... The people have always lived on hope alone. Ch. 13 Only then did the true loneliness take hold of me, not the one that is walled in, the false one for which the darkness is in the walls and the even blacker darkness outside the walls, for what then came was the great loneliness, which is bright as a garden without a fence.
