Volha Hapeyeva presents a poetic, personal, and political "dictionary" about her nomadic years spent between Belarus, Germany, Crete, and Japan. Individual, seemingly inconspicuous words serve as a starting point, opening up entire worlds of thought and experience. Thus, the intellectual path from "sad" (ornamental garden) and "harod" (vegetable or kitchen garden) to the Garden of Eden, to city and state borders is not far – and suddenly we are faced with the questions: How free are we really in a globalized world? And to what extent does the right or wrong passport determine a part of our lives? Hapeyeva's book is a poetic reflection on language, identity, and belonging. She raises questions about home and being a stranger, about gender and patriarchy, and about the possibility of being "human" beyond labels.
