A quiet Englishman spends decades watching one ambitious schoolmate climb from laughable outsider to feared power broker, while their whole circle of friends and lovers rises, falls, marries and dies around them like figures in a dance.

For some reason, the sight of snow descending on fire always makes me think of the ancient world.
