About school — through the eyes of a child who himself became a teacher years later. School is life. School is a series of moments, each of which can be pivotal. A poem read by chance changes the world around, the quiet girl Cloud gets lost forever, the wrong stress changes a person's fate, pastries hide in boots, and a frightening face looks out from the wall newspaper. And there is also a magical ring under the desk, mysterious drawings on the back of the chair, the fairy tale of the night fog, unspoken words, undelivered postcards and… resurrected little birds flying out of kind hands. A book for adults about childhood, its joys, sorrows, strange coincidences, reversed values, the most ordinary miracles, and the inescapable solitude that comes with it all.
