Was it possible that this absence of war - marvellous though it was and so forth: that went without saying - was it possible that it had actually trivialised people? Because everything was so bloody trivial now, wasn't it? This was The Trivial Age. Politics was trivial. What people worried about was trivial - mortgages and pensions and the dangers of passive smoking. Jesus! - he shot a look at O'Brian - is this what we've been reduced to, worrying about passive smoking, when our parents and our grandparents had to worry about being shot or bombed?
Robert Harris, Archangel.
Este autor escreveu tambem um livro chamado Fatherland, que parte da premissa que a Alemanha ganhou a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Quando leio os livros dele, parece que estou no meio de um bom filme de accao/suspense, com uma pesquisa historica bem consolidada como base.
