12 de mar. de 1983 · Good to read The Sentimental Agents of the Volyen Empire again on kindle. This is the fifth book in Doris Lessing’s Canopus in Argos Archives series. For reasons of context, I would recommend reading the other books first.

But one of these agents, Incent, succumbs to 'Undulant Rhetoric', and Agent Klorathy must go to Volyen to help him see through the empty words that have beguiled him. Once more employing alien races to identify human failings, Lessing uses social and political satire to show how we misuse speech (and speeches) and delude ourselves with self-aggrandizing notions about the primacy of emotion.
