هذه الرواية جسدت آخر خمس ساعات في حياة الجنرال السوفيتي كاربشيف والذي وقع أسيرا لدى النازيين في إحدى المعارك. في الرواية محادثة يقوم بها أحد ضباط الإس إس النازي حيث يقوم بسؤال الجنرال كاربشيف سؤال وهو «أنتم أصحاب أيدلوجية عقلانية فهل من العقلانية أن يموت الإنسان في سبيل مفاهيم مجردة مثل الوطن والوطنية؟ فيجيب الجنرال بسؤال وهو: أليست الكرامة مفهوم مجرد؟ ألا تستحق الكرامة أن نموت لأجلها؟»
والحقيقة أن هذا السؤال مربك. هذه المفاهيم بلا قيمة ولا تمثل معنى بالنسبة لي في ظل معركة لم تكن من اختياري. لا الوطن لا الكرامة الوطنية شيء يمكن أن يتجسد لمجرد أن إذاعة الجنرالات قررت أن تطنطن به ليل نهار.
