by Mircea-Cristian Gordan

The story concentrates on several timelines during the childhood of a fictional boy in the Eastern Europe, few kilometers away from where the border with the Balkans area is taking shape. Although the distance doesn't matter hence the mentality, habits and places are very similar.The story concentrates on different timelines, without a fix point in time, an can variate from a young boy, around 3 years old until the maturity and beginning of the Faculty time.It's an immersive experience to describe how is the real life, with real stories and childish adventures, how the people are living and interact there, how it was the transition from communism to capitalism and how the life in all those periods. What has changed, what was the impact, a kind of concrete hands on experience in the Universe of a child that is living this with joy and enjoying any moment, regardless of the situations.It's a story where the main hero is just a normal boy presenting his colorful life, joy and fun around the people that he loves and shares his life with. But is also a story of sadness because it describes the small child missing his mother and how he was running always to meet her in the train station where he knew that she's always coming to him, without knowing she will be there or not.While reading from real stories, to weird and sometimes close to fictional, is to show that sometimes life beats the movies, that doesn't matter who we are, who we are sharing the life with, we will always come on top, learn new things and have some fun meanwhile.It's a lite story to read, to distract from the main stress in life, from any complications, just to enjoy reading and become one with the mind of a young child that is slowly discovering the world and happy to share his experience and places where he grew up.
