The Road to Calvary, by Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy

What started out like a nice walk into a book is ending up like a road to calvary indeed.

And then Ivan Ilici Teleghin stopped throwing french insults and thrilling the enemy with his cock\s image, putted it back in his pants and then he went back into the village to kiss and hug the young blonde very white credule naive typical-russian phylosophical one-step-behind metaphisical strange nocock_alllove wife. If this is not 3rd rate porn material, with the writer fantasising masochistic in disguise wannabe thrilled action, I don't know what it is.

The first book was allright, 2nd was kinda blah, maintained interesting because it focused more onto the war and the 3rd book comes ridiculous and boring pretty well. Also I have a 6th sense that it does not respect historical evidences either.
If it would have not been for the time of war (russian civil war) I think the book would have been boring as fuck.
Only two persons are interesting in the whole book, and the author does not insist on their destiny or he kills them without remorse: 1st is Bessonov, the guy all ladies want, mister "can't love anyone anymore" and the second is the anarchist, the Jadov, the one who does count his victims, even in short pauses between loosing his consciousness and does have Nietzschenian ideas.

The style of writing is kinda ok I guess, but it is nothing on the LAN closed to let's say Thomas Mann with his The Magic Mountain, or Camus writings. It does not have enough power to accelerate or compress time.

Now I have to look for some interesting history book who's using powerfull tools to describe the russian civil war (styles like Lost Victories by Mannstein or any Cornelius Ryan war book will be wellcomed)

p.s.: love the welcome/welcomed debate here http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=238251
imo both a\re correct
first bc it is the being welcome expression and second bc it may jump very well into an attribute
also welcomed in the future is corect; as it may express a matter of state after the :inception", like if I fuck my daughter now, tommorrow she'll be fucked
