In this book, the poet Adel Khuzam resorts to the style of fragments and short sentences to create for us A collection of poetic ideas and philosophical visions about love and life. The book consists of a very large group of passages, the texts of which capture the poet’s vision of many topics in passion, love, wisdom, and man’s question about existence and time. The book's style relies on simplification at times to approximate the deep ideas it wants to express. In this book, philosophical and poetic meanings are mixed, the symbolic meaning is juxtaposed with the direct meaning, and sometimes rhyme intervenes to create a certain rhythm for the idea. The book is a rare combination of multiple expressive styles, prose and rhythm, that serve the aesthetics of creating meaning in a different and new way.
Delicacy did not protect the noble young woman in her twenties, Evelyn, from the disappointments of love, so she leaves Budapest, going to her ancestral home in a village on the banks of the Tisza River, in the hope that she will find tranquility and enjoyment there.

Evelyn immerses herself in a strange world in which the dead mix with the living, and reality with myth, so that everything strange seems very ordinary. A girl loves a tree, a man lies in his coffin and reads the book of prayers, and the ghosts of disappointed lovers haunt their lovers... In "Sunflowers", the Hungarian writer Jula Krodi uses descriptive language and free association in which dream and reality are mixed, to bring the reader into the depths of his characters and make him see nature through their eyes, drawing a picture of the Hungarian countryside in which people spend their lives searching for love, just as the sunflower moves. In search of light.

When he slept, he dreamed of the incorrect behavior that he had committed, and then the dialogue that took place between him and the characters of the story until he came to his senses and corrected his mistake, and the value of cleanliness and sustainability was established.
