Summary

Fifteen stories, fifteen pieces of life against the background of the brutal war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s. On the border between real and imaginary, with shades of surrealism and magical realism, war scenes alternate, dreams of a peaceful and serene world, of distant journeys, mythological references, analogies with other countries and peoples... At the center of the narrative is the man with his fragile identity, with the unhealed inner scars, with the sense of personal apocalypse. Faruk Sehic presents a vivid literary testimony to the traumas of war, pierced by soft poetics, by the ticking of a clock that measures the past and the present, life and death, astronomical and human time. Evidence of historicity and memory, because 'This was my unconscious mission: to survive, to tell, to write.'.
