This is an automatically translated description

The protagonist of the novel, Maksym Kolot, finds himself between two armies - the Nazi and the Soviet. But he does not succumb to the circumstances and does not allow fate to erase him from life. By telling the story of the tragedy of people caught up in the maelstrom of the Second World War, the writer tries to answer the eternal question: what keeps a person in this world, where does his or her thirst for life originate, where does he or she get the strength to fight death when he or she finds himself or herself on the verge of being and non-being.

The novel captivates with a dynamic plot, deep reflections on the meaning of life, such imperishable values as native land, clan, family, love, responsibility for neighbours, loyal friendship, mercy, and will be interesting to the reader.
