A masterfully crafted novel whose protagonist has many rounds and bouts with time. The author explores three symbols: his village, his grandfather, and his relationship with things. Where were they? And what have they become? What have time, events, and the tide of civilization done to them?

The book sheds more light on values and ideals, questioning how they are manipulated by the new generation compared to how they were held sacred by previous generations. It emphasizes the importance of human energy and its role in development, progress, and reducing emigration. It poses difficult existential questions and psychological dilemmas, featuring analyses, harsh judgments, and self-flagellation for uncommitted sins. It is an attempt to unravel the mysteries of life in a vibrant, realistic atmosphere and a poetic vision filled with overwhelming nostalgia for the past, not without resentment towards change and the unmasking of truths.
