Have you ever felt divided in two?
One part of you wants to rise, to breathe the sky, to be lifted by the desire for freedom.
The other calls you back to the ground, reminding you of your falls, your frailties, the fears that inhabit you.
I carried that feeling within me for a long time, until I realised I could no longer keep it to myself. That is where The Eagle and the Crow was born. It is not a novel in the usual sense, with a plot moving towards a reassuring ending. It is more an inner journey, a meditation in poetic prose.
One part of you wants to rise, to breathe the sky, to be lifted by the desire for freedom.
The other calls you back to the ground, reminding you of your falls, your frailties, the fears that inhabit you.
I carried that feeling within me for a long time, until I realised I could no longer keep it to myself. That is where The Eagle and the Crow was born. It is not a novel in the usual sense, with a plot moving towards a reassuring ending. It is more an inner journey, a meditation in poetic prose.
It is made of fragments, of images, of brief pages that ask to be read slowly, as one pauses to look at a landscape or to listen to a thought that resists immediate explanation.
I wrote this book because within me lived two strong, irreconcilable presences: the eagle that dreams and lifts me upward, and the crow that remembers, that holds me back, that reminds me of the earth and the weight of shadows.
While writing, I was not seeking answers or solutions, but truth. I wanted to preserve the tension, not erase it. I wanted to give it a voice, to let it live through words, like a wound that can become a song.
Perhaps you will recognise yourself in these pages, perhaps not. But if you have ever felt suspended between the wish to rise and the fear of falling, between the need for light and the pull of shadow, then this book speaks to you as well.
It does not offer a way out, but companionship.
It gives no promises, only mirrors in which you may glimpse something of yourself.
Writing it was my way of not feeling alone in this inner division.
Sharing it is my way of saying: if you have ever felt this way, you are not alone either.
Between the eagle and the crow there is no victory, only a fragile balance that makes us human.
