This book is an autobiographical account of the friendship of two young people - volunteers during the First World War - with its joy and inevitable suffering. Poetry and prose, war and peaceful life, inspiring unity and painful loneliness, sunny spring and joyless autumn, fleeting bright life and greedy death - the author travels between these worlds together with his friend, and this journey will never end as long as there are people who care to the concepts of “honor”, “fatherland” and “faith”.
