Footprints On The Road
by Markus Valerii
Description
This unique novel is written by the military officer and is based on true events. It explores the impact of war and the challenges it poses on one’s personality and character. After the main character was deployed to the war zone in the 3rd year of his military service, his brigade landed on the stretch of the front line that saw the heaviest fighting. Each new day could be the last for the young armored vehicle mechanic, who was shelled, lost his friends, and overcame psychological trauma. Does war necessarily leave one broken and traumatized, or could it build character, become just another part of life, and encourage self-reflection? The novel’s focus is not so much on the war as on the life, pain and experiences of the man who found himself in an extreme situation.
