Review: "Arrangement" is one of the best books by E.Kazan. It's a story about some sort of a system or arrangement, in which we live. A system where a man is only a small cog in the wheel. And one day he matures to change his life, to become individual. Kazan tries to compere things uncomparable, feelings to a person with the wholeness. Eddie has all that he wants. A good wife, beautiful house, car, plum job and all that jazz, wine and dine. Seemingly a wonderful life. One day he meets a woman. He falls in love. She shows him another side of life. Life full of emotions, passion, just utter madness for him. This romance changes his approach to life. Suddenly he can perceive everything from another perspective. He can relish his own life. Unfortunately the system never forgets its men. Eddie must choose between the wife with a comfortable life, and the mistress with freedom and love. His choice is simple - the freedom. But freedom on exile becouse the system doesn't like dissidents. He loses all but has love of his woman. Reading this book one wonders how deep the need for love is. How love can change our lifes. Why people sometimes decides to live against common sense. Maybe that's what it's all about - the power fo love.
