Ever since the Parisian girl Marie-Laure lost her sight, she has been living her own world, either between the pages of the books her father brings her, or in the corridors of the National Museum of Natural History where he works, enchanted by the wonders of the museum and the imaginative stories she hears about its holdings, especially the mysterious jewel: the Sea of Flames. She spends her days with her father with her usual routine, until the war begins, forcing them to run away carrying a dangerous secret.
On the other side of the war, in an orphanage in a small German town, a German teenager spends his days with his little sister, fascinated by the magic of radio and its ability to transmit news and stories from distant lands. Werner pursues his obsession to become an expert in installing and repairing radios, until the war requires him to join the engineering forces in the German army.
Through their story, Anthony Dorr tells in his charming novel about the good that we may see despite the ugliness of war, and about what war does to dreamers.
And in this novel specifically, escape is summed up...in the entire story!
You feel that you must return to this novel after the end
As if it was the happy ending that was supposed to be
That this was the eternal moment, that it was the right decision that had to be taken
If only we could strike a balance between pleasure and suffering...
And to escape from fears for certainty..
To learn to escape from our deadly questions to save the moments we love!
Let us enjoy stability on the shoulder of safety
Don't run away from us..

The night was spreading its black cloak, and the sky looked like a gigantic female covering her body from head to toe. Mu’ayrid was lying in the complete darkness like a sick cat stretching out its feet in the water and resting its back on the towering mountains, which were like giant sheep headbutting the sky. Nasser stood at The beach, and the wave was combing the strands of sand wet with water and salt, and close to his head was the throat of a seagull that had perhaps lost its way to shelter, and its voice had a hoarseness resembling the voice of an old man sick with a cough.
A special kind of anxiety grips Martin Santome after he approaches retirement age. He sees that his life has passed without him achieving anything worth mentioning. However, something changes after hiring the young woman, Abeyanda, in the office where he works, as he suddenly experiences feelings of happiness. After his life had deprived him of her for many years, since the death of his wife and his having to raise his children alone.
Through Santome's diaries over the course of an entire year, Benedetti depicts for us the life of the middle class in Uruguay, expressing with great sensitivity the loneliness and lack of communication, love, happiness, and death, in a poetic narrative that qualifies this novel to be one of the most beautiful and powerful love novels. And elegance in Latin American literature.
وصف الكتاب. صديقى رجل يحب الجدل ويهوى الكلام وهو يعتقد أننا نحن المؤمنون السذج نقتات بالاوهام ونضحك على أنفسنا بالجنة والحوار العين وتفوتنا لذات الدنيا ومفاتنها

"This is freedom. It is a winter thing that cannot be tolerated for long. In it one must constantly move, as we do now. In freedom one must dance, it is cold and beautiful. But do not fall in love with it, because this will make you very sad later. A person only exists in the areas of freedom for moments, and no more. We have crossed the limit now. Look at the wonderful path on which we are skating, how it is slowly dissolving. You can now see freedom dying. When you open your eyes, this will be a haunting scene The heart is yours many times.”

Walser treats language in this novel with as much respect as one would treat a revered and close friend at the same time. Hermann Hesse
"Jacob von Gonten" involves a kind of parody of the traditional educational novel.
