My dear readers and friends from faraway Japan,

I would like you to know that all of you, the wonderful people of Japan, are constantly in our minds and hearts in Serbia, in these times of a terrible catastrophe. I wish I could personally do something—anything—that would be of any practical help to you...

If I ever write a new book, it will be dedicated to all of you, the Japanese people, who so magnificently showed the rest of the human race how a great nation survives a disaster of huge proportions.

I love you all.

Zoran Živković
