Description

The journey of a revolutionary son who returns to his hometown because his father is ill. From this journey, fragments of inner turmoil are revealed that were never considered during the fanfare of the revolution. It tells how a person's heroism in the revolution ultimately softens when faced with everyday reality: he finds his father, a devoted teacher, lying sick with tuberculosis, his family in poverty, his old house no longer able to withstand the ravages of time, and faces a nagging wife. These fragmented stories are revealed with the remaining strength of a soul swimming in the spirit of an idealistic young former revolutionary soldier. Through simple and focused narration, the 'I' character in this novel not only criticizes.
