It is never unrealistic, even if it describes a totally new and unknown world. It gives us dreary feeling as if we see the future turning back to the hierarchy society. However, it also gives us the impression as if we read a classic book thanks to its antique background and grace of characters. Furthermore, it provides us with tension like a meticulous crime detective story with its process to reveal the truth behind a character’s death.
The harsh destiny in three generations – the bondage of ‘family’ which no one can escape from, the issue of murder committed inevitably, and the effect of the law, and the noble love between a father and a son – makes readers think of the origin of evil possessed by humans again. This book is about the process to trace the missing link in evolution by Darwin Young as well as the objective research report about the human nature. At the same time, this is the story of all of us living here and now.
