The eight stories in this book will take the reader on a journey through time and space. The stories include a fairytale world where a boy befriends an eagle, the Jewish quarter of Ankara during the Second World War, a ship sailing from Haifa to Istanbul, east of Eden just after the Fall, the peaceful town of Ion, and more as these are just some of the stops along the way. Wherever of whenever the stories might be set, though, Yakup Almelek shows the reader that often a child can see what an adult cannot, that often what we think is good for us can hold unforeseen consequences, and that sometimes we will never understand how our grown-up minds work. Through these stories, the reader will come to see that often the simplest questions yield the deepest answers.
