The events of this novel began at the end of the nineteenth century, specifically in the year 1882 AD, and continued until the present time. The novel contains reality and fantasy, even if reality dominates it more. I have selected a story from each verse, and put them all in this novel so that it is all the stories. And let the groans of the world gather in the heart of this family, for this is how fate intended, and this is how the days and years passed with a succession of events. The novel would not have occurred to me if it had not been for the fact that it had been inspired by a woman... a woman who is not like other women in my view... Yes, a woman to whom I owe great credit for taking my hand in writing this novel. She is a woman from the beautiful past, from the era of the Hollows and the Yamal. She is a woman who struggled to survive. To live, to continue her life’s journey with full strength... a woman who cannot be repeated in this time. She is my inspiration, and for her sake I decided to begin and continue the narration of this novel until the end.
I want a clear enemy who is fit to curse and curse
And soldiers cheer for their return
Defeated or victorious
And martyrs, not victims
And an anthem
And a memorial...
I want a place in the heart of the country to comment on
A memorial photo of a family that did not survive death
I leave the task of pinning medals of honor on the chest of the tyrant to war.
I want a war that resembles a war
And an enemy is the enemy, without a mask, from the clay of this earth
And a poem I write in praise of the fighter
Not in Venetian satire!
I want to write grass,
The grass that will grow on the iron of the cannons!
