Nonel

In Nonel the author describes major events in the life of a young boywho grew up in Romania from 1939 1954. That was a period whenthe country switched from a monarchy (before 1947) to a communistdominated republic. The issues that affected Nonel during that periodinfluenced his thought for the rest of his life. These experiences enabledthe boy realize that as long as we continue to function, we must challengelifes suffering and sorrows. Akin to our bodys attempts to heal, ourmind must seek harmony and contentment. Perhaps we can amend forour trespasses not only by helping others, weaker than ourselves, butalso by mending the distress in our lives and anguish of our souls. Inessence, an evil person who attempts to accomplish good deeds all thetime can confuse even God!
