The book contains three small masterpieces by Michel Kent, united by the themes of friendship, love and war, which is invisibly present even in the second novel, “I Fall in Love a Little,” where the action takes place 30 years after its end. The best way to describe this book is in the words of Kent himself, addressed to the hero of the third novel “And my pain is at peace with me”: “Yes, Max, I am writing your story. And the story of your loved ones. They are mine from now on.[...] Because piercingly, sincerely, without embellishment, without pretense, you shared your life with me, handed it to me with an open soul, revealing the true meaning of humanity... that everyday humanity that deceives and kills, that is capable of experiencing fear, innocent and everyday heroic, the one who wants to hide the universe in her clenched fist and cannot hold a butterfly in it.”
