The volume includes essays on the ultimate care of man, the most radical positioning of the soul in relation to its fate. These are texts that refer to the crisis of spirit, the crisis of time, and the crisis of history.

With the hope that his essays will reach the reader at an opportune moment, Christos Malavitis emphasizes in the preface of the book: "The essayistic discourse does not prove, but identifies. It shows you your existential place, where you can stand momentarily and breathe. That breath of resurrected life. Or of the life of consolation. Or of the life of enlightenment.

It is not easy to find yourself in these places. That is why the essayistic discourse comes as an ally. It comes without the iron shadows of methodology, without the armor of argumentative reasoning that does not allow for deviation. Even contradiction is an element of life and attests to the inability to generalize the partial truth, which is the only living one.

And the essayistic discourse comes, multifaceted and multiform, to penetrate even the most hidden crevices of existence, the secret and the private, allowing the seed to bloom suddenly, like the purple cyclamens blooming in the crevices of rocks."
