    About this ebook

    (corpses and pictures)
    A collection of very short stories, which took its narrative world from reality mixed with fertile imagination, expressing human suffering in wartime, and the human sense of vaccum and loss of value and importance in a world dominated by injustice and tyranny.
    The collection deals with social human topics, through texts which are full of symbolism and suggestion, charged with tensions, emotions and reflections, and the condensation was designed in terms of vocabulary and reduction in terms of events, to transport us to the atmosphere of war in a light way, and to open up to us the space of unlimited contemplation.

      -3—He returned to his home, and decided ...never to go out.

      -4— The house was bombed... he died under the wall.
