Distinguished Bulgarian writer Yordan Yovkov in his capacity of a soldier have seen small pieces of melodramatic stories at the war fronts, which the writer actually experienced and wrote about.

1917. Europe gone crazy is burning in the flames of the World War. A Bulgarian officer, the correspondent of the War News newspaper, is traveling to the Dobrudja front. His name is Yordan Yovkov. He has an unusual task to accomplish - to take an engagement ring to his best friend who has got married to a girl somewhere beyond the front line. Along his way he will meet almost blind General Kolev and the imam who makes crosses for the Bulgarian soldiers dying of cholera, he will close his dying friend's eyes and will stay the night at the home of his fiance. Together with the notepad he writes his experiences in, Yovkov will also carry the painful memories of whatever has happened.—Georgi Djulgerov <[email protected]>
