The most touching aspect of this novel is its respect for the "inertia" of history—the protagonist has no power to overturn the course of history, nor can he change the fate of a dynasty's collapse on his own. His only "advantage" is a broader understanding of historical trends than the ancients, and this understanding requires careful verification within the "blind spots of historical details."
