One fateful afternoon, his wife leaves him and his long-term conflict with his father, who blames our hero for his mother's death, comes to a head. Incapable of finding inner calm-for our hero is a man who cannot seem to adapt to new times and rules-he steps into the warm Mediterranean night that has fallen in the city of Ulcinj, itself a multilayered mixture of European dimensions, African influences and the communist past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn his journey into the night, the writer meets an assortment of characters: a piano student from Vienna who has abandoned his musical career and converted to Islam, a radical Christian preacher and a group of refugees from Kosovo. In the style of \u003cem\u003eMihail Bulgakov, \u003c\/em\u003e the characters meet in the old city of Ulcinj at the dramatically named Square of the Slaves. It is here where, in times of old, the pirates who lived in the city until the nineteenth century would bring and sell captured slaves, amongst them Miguel de Cervantes. And it is here that the dénouement of this fascinating novel takes place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrej Nikolaidis\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the most outspoken and acclaimed writers in the Balkan region.
