This book is not about ports or ships, but about the author's own soul, lost between departure and return. It's about that boy who once stood on the pier, dreaming that the world was bigger than his small village, not realizing the waves would carry him to a featureless life. It is his story, or perhaps the story of every sailor who lived in estrangement until he became a stranger in his own homeland, a stranger in his own heart.

The author wrote because he could find no harbor to anchor in other than words. This book is not just a sailor's story, but the story of every person who lost their way while chasing their dreams, only to find themselves a stranger in their own home.

He wrote it to reorganize his memory and to say to every passerby: do not let the sea steal you from yourself, and do not let money steal your life.
