We have always believed that even when mankind is brought down to the ashes, when we have lost hope on everything. That there is always going to be a guiding hand that will pull as out of the ashes and bring us back to where we were before the tragedy.

This book shows us that this is possible we don’t always have to have a pessimistic view of humans.
