The sky does not favor anyone

How strange life is! It loves contradictions; in the moment when one is confident that they are safe, it turns them into a silly creature, mocking them and pushing them directly to the edge of danger. And in the second 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's 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 obliged to give itself to us. In the end, those who expect nothing are not disappointed. A novel that apparently tells the story of a complicated love 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. To put us face to face with ourselves, or face to face, with everything we have become accustomed to pretending we do not see.
