I VREMETO IMA KRAJ: Time is Not Endless

by Suzana Goceva-Zdravkovska

312 pages; quality trade paperback (softcover); English and Macedonian language; catalogue #07-2168; ISBN 1-4251-5005-5; US$29.95, C$34.44, EUR23.35, £15.48

Who can explain the truth about time, its beginning and its end? No logic and scientific facts, please. Doesn't time make unreasonable pacts with death that denies endlessness of time?

About the Book

"TIME IS NOT ENDLESS" is pure fiction, dealing with my concept of time, space, water, stones and fire, meant for all ages above 14, born out of a few verses that word by word got the final form of a novel. I had no intention to provoke scientists' polemics. I wanted to bring basic notions of geology, chemistry, physics and astronomy closer to those who find these sciences scary as "boogeyman" in a simplified and interesting way. So, when you bump into some scientific facts (probably changed since my time), have patience, read them and find the logic and truth in everything. The biggest truth of all lies hidden in the eternal concept of love.

It is also a call, a plea to all Macedonians around the world: "Forget about getting rich abroad, the well of gold is in Macedonia".

If you like the story, thank: my teachers from both "Karev" and "Dimov" gymnasiums in Skopje (my Macedonian language teacher, Grupe; chemistry teacher Svetlana; the "scary" physics teacher, Gordana; the "nervous" geographer Nada, and all the others from both schools); my English language-learning students (chemical high school students and technology engineers) who urged me to finish the book the soonest I could, and my whole family for their support.

For English-speaking readers only, who have no knowledge of Macedonian, there is an English version provided - just turn the book on its back.

I wish you all pleasant moments while reading it.
