In this book, the testimony of a man is recorded for an era where struggles of all kinds never stopped and scarcity was rare. It was not easy for someone to put it on their feet back then, nor did they like to recycle their complaints. Acts of generosity? Let's call them that, better yet, firmly rooted in life, nothing less and nothing more.

The reader will see people diving into action as soon as the alarm sounds. From their movements springs a will, we see it, relive it, borrow it. After all, we are currently in a period of borrowing. At least, apart from the obligatory loans from foreign sources, let's also take one of our own, from this particular mixture of courage and vigilance (with a necessary touch of indifference inside) that the previous generations demonstrated, regardless of their other, existing flaws.
