Dear reader...

You have plenty of time to close all the doors and windows, and open your heart to go on your own journey.

It is a wonderful and rich emotional journey that the writer took to the city of Damascus, preceded by long and intermittent periods of absence due to the outbreak of war, but this time it was Damascus that chose him, traveling deep within him until the day of his birth.

The novel's events take place over just four days in the darkest spot on the planet, during which the writer meets characters who appear to him from a sea of ​​nothingness at a wondrous divine timing, illuminating his sky like stars that pour their brilliance into the deepest recesses of his soul and conscience. They confirm to him that man is the subject and container of miracles, their beginning, path, and end, and that he is an amazing and sacred book.

Days turn it page by page, granting each line an exceptional day, the greatest of all. The reader roams through a narrative whose waves carry him to touch his threshold with the breaths of essential music. He treads the corners of the novel, exploring horizons and renewed human and life experiences despite their extreme harshness.

Throughout this long and exciting journey, challenges continue to accompany the reader until the last pages, told by the narrator.

The author has succeeded in enriching this work with his distinctive and beautiful written language, far from the prevailing and familiar style.
