A writer and war. Karahasan, the rebel
Dževad Karahazan’s rebellion was the result of his refusal to live imprisoned in a world of absolute truths, which are fed on the fear of others. He was not an idealist. He experienced real evil. He chose the life of a writer who diligently collected the remains of the wisdom of bridge builders.

In our lives there are meetings that leave permanent marks on us. Regardless of when and where they take place, they come back to us as if they were real again.
