 with your own situation, imprisoned for a few weeks or days where you're allowed out to the shops or walk on Hampstead Heath or whatever it is, and you realize that your lot in life actually is rather straightforward and rather simple. And in a sense, the book is a sort of a mirror in which you can look to your own life and see that if this person is able to glean sustenance and satisfaction from his lot, which is a tough one, then our situation is all the much easier.
