This is a book about war, love and teachers. The war inside and outside the man.
War as a pyre and a question, as a trial and a destiny, as a last chance to take the path to goodness and God.
Love in all its human manifestations - familial, friendly and romantic. Love of one's native land and one's own, love as a path to growth.
Teacher in every aspect and manifestation of that word - literal, spiritual, life.
The protagonist flees the war in search of home and peace. Along his path as an exile, dramatic twists and turns and encounters with strange, contradictory people await him, turning his destiny upside down, challenging him to rethink himself and his own ideas of self and other, good and evil, faith and religion, God and the devil in man, sacrifice and mission, love and separation. An unfamiliar world unfolds before his eyes, and his unexpected encounter with love provokes him to transcend his prejudices, the limits of his blood, his dogmas and his beliefs. The young man realizes that war always asks big questions, and they cannot have small answers. This is a book about the fire a man lights on his own to burn away yesterday's self, a fire purifying and necessary for the growth of the soul. It is a book about the fiery human paths that destiny leads us on to save the beautiful, the eternal, the radiant in the human being.
