Deti v daždi

The book works like a calendar, but an inverted one: a calendar of time past, made of notes, records and small prose pieces, memories, poems and old-fashioned pictures. It builds an image of the recent past, mostly unhappy events, from the Covid-19 pandemic to Russia's attack on Ukraine. Looking for connections between them, it arrives at a warning, or rather a plea, that we learn from what we have lived through and protect the most precious thing we have, our children.
