Philosophic, poetic and absolutely honest story about the future which is no different from ours. Except for one thing: people live on a secluded island surrounded by the expanse of a desert. This world has its own philosophy, its own religion and politics but there stays that very true sadness which is the beginning and the end of any story. The book continues the tradition of modernists and following Proust, the author tries to describe his own living mind.
