I first read the book when I was twelve. Well, I should say I tried reading the book when I was twelve. I never finished it then. I could not appreciate it. I read it again more than 20 years later, and only then the story resonated with me. The message which stays with me the most is how we must stick to our principles, even when the world seems to conspire against us, and even when everything seems futile.
The edition of the book I have is the one pictured here. This is one of my books with the longest gap between buying it and finishing it.
