The twenty-fifth hour

Author: Constantine Virgil Giorgio Publisher: Dar Kalemat for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2023 Number of pages: 576 Category: Fiction and Novel *** "In 1938 I was in a Jewish camp in Romania, and in 1940 in a Romanian camp in Hungary, and in 1941 in a Hungarian camp in Germany, and then in an American camp in 1945. Then I was released two days ago from Dachau camp, thirteen years I spent between camps. I have only tasted freedom for eighteen hours, then I was taken here." This is how Eohan Moritz summarizes his life story spent in captivity, chased by identity, fleeing from one country's captivity only to fall into the shackles of another country, suspected of his name wherever he went, sentenced to life imprisonment at "the twenty-fifth hour," the hour after which nothing is of use, the hour foretold by Virgil Giorgio, and confirmed by all subsequent events.
