Who is Marat? A man hard to find, hard to leave, and impossible to forget. This book is a journey. Fascinating. Surprising. Obsessive. The dream of love is turned into reality, it is waiting for you somewhere… in a dusty corner of the world, in an inexplicable twitching of the heart, in an hourglass.

All the stories begin with one word, but what word can express the unfolding of an unforgettable love story? Words often blench with embarrassment, failing to render the mysteries of love. Only in complete silence non words are spoken between the lines, carrying the sweet burden of primordial love.
Surrender yourself to this story, taste its nectar, let yourself be guided by love, just like the three wise men by the divine spell.
And so the story begins ...
Isn’t it amazing that my first trip abroad is to China? That far-off land, with winged dragons, large rice fields and wind chimes, that land I often dreamed of, as a child, my imagination giving birth to nomadic desires. In my mind, China smells of jasmine tea served in delicate porcelain cups and has the color of the red silk road; it is a country of contrasts, where civilization and tradition intertwine, in a song too subtle for the ears of the Europeans; its incredible progress resembles pure alchemy; the speed with which China adapts to modern times overwhelms us, and yet it is the same country where the rickshaw is pulled by one man carrying another, the same country where families have 3 members or less, the only child, as dictated by law, the one who does not know the meaning of brother, nor sister, being either a solitary child, or having the whole world as its family – hard to tell...
I see China as being drowned in the present, but feeding on a past that does not pass.
