Piroz, der siebzehnj?hrige Kurde aus Syrien, hat gerade sein Abi Fachrichtung Naturwissenschaften bestanden. Er begibt sich nach Damaskus, um auf der Uni in Mezzeh franz?sische Literatur zu studieren. Aufgrund seines Status als staatenloser Kurde und Ausl?nder der Provinz Al-Hassaka und dem von Geheimdienst unterstellten Verdacht, zu politischen Aktivit?ten zu neigen, wird ihm das Studium verweigert. Durch seinen Komplizen Messoud lernt Piroz Beshir kennen, der ihm eine M?glichkeit in Beirut anbietet und ihm das Blaue vom Himmel verspricht, um auf der arabischen Universit?t in Beirut sein Studium anzufangen. Piroz ergreift die Chance und riskiert die illegale Reise in den Libanon. Dort herrscht B?rgerkrieg und jedes Gebiet wird von Milizen kontrolliert. Piroz stellt schnell fest, dass er belogen und betrogen wurde. Es bleibt ihm nichts anders ?brig als sich der neuen Situation anzupassen, aber mit dem Ziel, wieder ganz schnell nach Syrien zur?ckzukehren. Er wird zu einem Trainingslager irgendwo im Osten Libanons gebracht, das zu einer kurdischen Bewegung geh?rt, die sich Harakat E Ssaeiqa (Brusk) nennt und die eng mit dem syrischen Au?engeheimdienst und der sozialistisch-nationalen syrischen Partei im Libanon arbeitet, junge Kurden rekrutiert und daf?r Geld kassiert. So vergehen etwa drei sehr lange und ereignisreiche Monate, bis ihm die R?ckkehr nach Syrien irgendwie doch gelingt. In Syrien beginnt Piroz seine Flucht wieder von vorne zu planen, aber diesmal Richtung Europa.

Совершая ошибки или сталкиваясь с чужими, мы успокаиваем себя фразами «Человеку свойственно ошибаться». Но утешают ли они того, кто стал жертвой чужой некомпетентности? И утешают ли они врача, который не смог помочь? Нам хочется верить, что врач непогрешим на своем рабочем месте. В операционной всемогущ, никогда не устает и не чувствует себя плохо, не раздражается и не отвлекается на посторонние мысли. Но каково это на самом деле – быть нейрохирургом? Каково знать, что от твоих действий зависит не только жизнь пациента, но и его личность – способность мыслить и творить, грустить и радоваться? Рано или поздно каждый нейрохирург неизбежно задается этими вопросами, ведь любая операция связана с огромным риском. Генри Марш, всемирно известный британский нейрохирург, раздумывал над ними на протяжении всей карьеры, и итогом его размышлений стала захватывающая, предельно откровенная и пронзительная книга, главную идею которой можно уложить в два коротких слова: «Не навреди». © Henry Marsh 2014.
