Summary/Abstract: With this book, the author gives back to his (and thus every other) childhood the depth, richness and all the complexity of a life that flourishes, 'in spite of everything'. Yes, in his novel somewhere far away reader can hear sounds of cannonade, alarm sirens, rifle shots, military uniforms are carried and rifles are carried on the shoulders, but that does not stop one childhood from flourishing and living enthusiastically, searching for islands of joy and enjoyment, bending under the onslaught of divine secrets: growing up, friendship, love ... “Blue waters of the murky Danube” is the formula on which this prose works, which pulsates with the power of its vitality, both precision and conciseness of expression, and picturesque scenery and exciting associations.
