Overall, Don Renato: An Ideal Content is a captivating and thought-provoking work of fiction that offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the most enigmatic writers of the early 20th century.Our artificers imitate their masters, or their antecessors. It is human to evade operose labor of body or mind. Labor of mind facilitly may be evaded by imitation: for, so, sollicitude of mind conducive to invention becomes supervacuous. Hence, artificers of a negligent nature follow traditions and canons of the schools.
