Just finished this masterpiece. Can't help but think that it is some kind of allegory on solitude, but I don't really have the brains to articulate it. Also, what does the horse that is found in the desert mean? What is /lit/'s interpretation?One of the most poignant paragraphs:>At the bottom of his heart he is even pleased in a faint-hearted way at having avoided sudden changes in his mode of life, at being able to go back, as he was, to his old habits. He deludes himself, this Drogo, with the dream of a wonderful revenge at some remote date – he believes that he still has an immensity of time at his disposal. So he gives up the petty struggle of the day-today existence. The day will come, he thinks, when all accounts will be paid with interest. But in the meantime the others are overtaking him, they contend keenly with each other, they outstrip Drogo and have no thought for him. They leave him behind. He watches them disappear into the distance, perplexed, a prey to his usual doubts: perhaps he really has made a mistake? Perhaps he is an ordinary mortal for whom only a mediocre fate is reserved?
Is this the birth of an epic new schizo-ritual poster?
>>25232458You make a very good point. Horses, in a technical sense, are things which men use for transport. Perhaps then, this equine imagery represents moving from A to B. Motion, if you will. The author is also called "DINO" Buzzati. Dino? Huh, kinda sounds like DINOSAURUS? Might be another thread to pick at for some interesting analysis.

>>25232495You're right. We're a Thiel-funded operation to increase the sales of a book from the 1930s. It's all coordinated.
>>25232567Wait, so you mean you do it... for free?

>>25233450My question is why is there a 120 year old man who apparently died years ago shilling his cult book on a Mongolian crochet internet forum. And how is he still alive?
