The sky does not favor anyone

Book title: The sky does not rain anyone Publisher: Hayat Publications Author: Erich Maria Remarque Number of pages: 430 How strange life is! It loves contradictions; in the moment when one is confident that they are safe, it turns them into a foolish being, mocks them, and pushes them directly to the edge of danger. And in the next moment, when they have surrendered and admitted to being lost, it does not stop flooding them with gifts. Humans do not need much thinking, as life works like a clock pendulum. It goes to the right, then returns to the left. Our misery lies in our firm belief that we have the upper hand over life, and that it is our duty for life to give itself to us. In the end, those who expect nothing are not disappointed. A novel that apparently tells a complicated love story between a former prisoner of the Nazis and a fragile girl suffering from tuberculosis. But deep down, it raises philosophical questions about life and death, meaning and the absence of purpose. It puts us face to face with ourselves, or face to face, with everything we are used to pretending not to see.
