Pluperfect. Polonaise for My Granddaughter

Dear reader!
Pluperfect, a past tense, is one of the verb tenses found in some languages. But don’t be frightened by the name; we won’t delve into the intricacies of linguistics. Before you is a documentary-artistic work based on the diary... entries of my grandfather, accidentally discovered many years after his passing.
You will travel through different centuries, meet well-known and unknown people, and perhaps you will think that the information about the unknown could have been shortened. But it has been deliberately left, as someone might find traces of their ancestors; the interest in family history is increasingly awakening in people.

Through the history of the family, unraveling its mysteries and secrets, I wanted the reader to ponder with me that our behavior affects not only us, it determines the fate of our descendants; the infamous “to the seventh generation” works, dreams come true, and any event can only be properly assessed retrospectively.
And yes, I wanted the world to become a little brighter. 
Respectfully, Elita Gri
