Stunning

Hall takes a single thread, aging, and observes it from all angles, male, female, depression, esctasy, violence, anger and happiness. Man is compared with history, nature and Greek tragedy. But don't get put off by the grande themes, this is a very readeable and enjoyable book for anyone who likes to read.
