It was fine, very literary. 2x speed on audiobook wasn't fast enough.

"Nel sogno c'era sempre una bella porta di legno. La bella porta di legno era molto piccola: alta come un cuscino, mettiamo, o come un'enciclopedia. Dietro la porta di legno piccola ma bella c'era un'altra porta, e dietro quest'altra porta c'era un'immagine dell'Imperatore che a nessuno era permesso vedere.
Perché l'Imperatore era sacro e divino. Un dio.
Non si poteva guardarlo negli occhi."
