This book is about what defeats us, what turns boys into men - about the fact that they will not return and that we cannot smooth out any more wrinkles. - What?! Are our children being killed here? — I heard protest three times from parents intoxicated with justice. - No! They kill each other themselves, driving stakes into their own souls in order to achieve success in a team equal to themselves. I have no pity for either one or the other - I only have a desire to tell what is happening there, where now, overcoming difficulties, they are growing up for life, because having left childhood on the threshold of their home, our children have gone to turn into men.
