A Balcony in the Forest

A Balcony in the Forest Book Description A shelter surrounded by trees with pointed leaves and dense branches, the sweet warmth left by the sun's rays bending with autumn on the moist soil, an impenetrable forest that carries the memory of the past summer days and traps all the secrets within itself... In the heart of the forest, trees and plants a soldier who has made his home in a damp, low-ceilinged, tired pillbox, integrated with its cover... A Balcony in the Forest, as the war slowly approaches with all its violence, another reality free from death and pain; It is the story of Second Lieutenant Grange, who walks with firm steps on the path and finds breath and life in the nooks of the forest. In Grange's eyes, life means holding on to the rustle of branches swaying in the wind, the flutter of birds' wings, and the red of the sun slowly setting behind the mountains, in the midst of the fire attacking from all sides, while the tense wait continues and death approaches. A shocking narrative about the possibility of those who leave the war behind and return home covered in blood to believe in life, the new day and a forest. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
