Book Moon over Kinburn
This is an automatically translated description
Two boys are looking at a crescent moon in the sky: Orhan sees it as a Muslim symbol, and young Petrus sees it as a Cossack seagull. The events take place at a time when there were constant clashes between the Christian and Muslim worlds on the Kinburn Spit near the Black Sea. Everyone has their own truth and their own path to freedom, so this story teaches mercy and acceptance, because the path of revenge and violence only gives rise to resentment and distrust of the world.
