5.5 “NA PAT SO VREMETO” (ON THE ROAD OF TIME) - Part 02

Elements of “literature of fact” bear information on the Macedonian experience which is confirmed by the content of this novel which in essence carries truth and is the conclusion of all of Nakovski’s previous novels.

At the end of the novel the author asked: “So what is there left for us and for future generations? My only wish is to leave you with the message that what happened on those roads must never be forgotten, must never be erased from our memories...” 198

The author has left a legacy for future generations to not forget their roots, to learn and pass on those things that should not be forgotten, with a single goal: to never repeat them again.
