Отрывок из книги

Listen to the sound of reed,

As it blows its complaint:

Once they put a few miles between themselves and the last of the city buildings, heading northeast, the bearded man abruptly interrupted his whispered conversation with the guard. He rose to his feet, bent slightly, and looked outside, checking their progress by the landscape. He faced the worried passengers and announced loudly, “Listen to me please. ...You're gonna’ be taken through the city of Shabestar, over the north shore of Lake Rezaeih, to the west of the city of Salmas. This brother (pointing to the younger guard) is gonna be with you up to that point. There you'll be handed over to a guide. From that point on, it'll take three days of hiking to reach the border. I hope you’re all in good shape for the hike. I'm gonna get off near Salmas. You got any questions you better ask now.” His glance drifted over the passengers, expecting for some questions.

Their silence signified that they were perhaps holding tight onto the last shreds of expectation – hope – that they would soon be freed from the chaos revolution had brought into their lives.
