Eli Beneš – Slight loss of loneliness

Debut author Eli Benes' book was a heartfelt affair from the very beginning. It is as black as the consciences of those who allowed it to happen, as dark, lonely, anxious and distrustful, as black as a coal-black wagon, black thoughts of those who survived but death remained an eternal part of their lives. Endless lists of names. Blue is then a childhood memory of a light, a check engine light from the dashboard of a car. The view of the blue sky from the coal wagon when returning home, or the sea, which is a longing from childhood, as well as a journey to freedom. Blue is hope, blue is tekhelet. 

Thanks to the special care of the Akropolis publishing house, the book was created without technological and material compromises.
