By 1956, disillusionment with chivalric or martial ideas or even just ordinary love of country was again de rigueur in the world of words.

Today there are many different understandings of family which are considered equal. The endeavour is not without dangers, for this equality of forms and models is not something supposed to be established and argued for with concrete proofs, data, and arguments.
