The novel is largely autobiographical, and the dog plays an important role in it, painting life in unexpected bright colors, demonstrating loyalty and genuine friendship. This is really what heroes need when they are involved in a situation they have no control over. The course of events is imposed by people from the so-called power structures, who imagine themselves to be the creators of a new world order that is comfortable for them, selecting supporters for themselves, without hesitation in the choice of means. Traveling, fishing and other humorously described adventures highlight the main theme, making it more prominent.
