Do you know who you remind me of? On the ancient street of Istanbul there is an unusual staircase named Kamondo, built in the shape of two eights. Its magic is that you can fall on it, but you can’t roll down to the end. And yet, no matter how you stray in the steps of the stairs, Kamondo will lead you to a flat, bright street.It will seem to you more than once that you are confused. That if you fall, you will find yourself in a dark hole. Don't be afraid, keep going.Copyright© Safarli E., 2015© Design.

Я хочу домой
Книга "Я хочу домой" Эльчина Сафарли оставила у меня смешанные чувства. С одной стороны, автор мастерски создает атмосферу Стамбула, погружая читателя в его культуру и обычаи. Описание лестницы Камондо, символизирующей жизненные перипетии, стало для меня настоящим открытием. Я ощутил, как важно не бояться падений и продолжать двигаться вперед, несмотря на трудности. Однако, с другой стороны, некоторые моменты показались затянутыми, и я ожидал более динамичного сюжета. Персонажи, хотя и интересные, иногда казались слишком стереотипными. Тем не менее, книга заставила меня задуматься о поисках своего места в жизни и о том, как важно возвращаться к своим корням. В целом, "Я хочу домой" — это трогательная история о поисках себя, но не без своих недостатков.
