ONE WORD

The first six chapters means everything; chapters seventh and eighth do add nothing to the knowledge already on mind, the sorthness of both chapters tell volumes about their necessity, and yet as Epilogue they come for good. The book in itself fills the gap by the classic, modern writters created, and help us to see the entire action inside the frame of a single picture.
