Synopsis

An adventure in the yellow sands of North Africa, following the coast of the blue sea toward Djibouti and Dire Dawa, Captain Koïnsky’s final destination. The journey features a colorful theater of characters in succession. The Polish officer starts out with two degenerate Indochinese riflemen that he ran into by pure chance. Next he bumps into the singular soldier Gallina, faithful to his Breda, a priceless armored vehicle which proves essential for continuing along the difficult way. At that point a guide is needed, and a sensuous Dankal woman, Ghula, comes on the scene. She is lithe of body, but her dagger is always ready to strike. Accompanying her behind the scenes is a band of libertarian warrior women. Then it is the turn of the beautiful Madame Brezza of the “Brise de Mer,” the legendary brothel in Djibouti.
It’s a far cry from the classic war story; everything spins around as if on a merry-go-round where anything can happen and then change again—even a German motor torpedo boat will change its name and flag. It’s the world that Pratt experienced as a boy, a world that left an impression on him and ultimately changed him.
In this dramatic and romantic story there are silent heroes who sacrifice everything so that Pratt can have Koïnsky carry on, and that tough soldier, just like the author, will not remain unaffected.

    “Remove My Shadow From My Body” is a psychological and symbolic story that portrays the inner journey of a man seeking liberation from his past, guilt, and the shadow of his identity. 
    Every person carries a shadow — but the protagonist of this story wants to separate that shadow from himself. Here, the shadow is not just the silhouette formed by light, but a symbol of his inner darkness, past mistakes, and suppressed emotions. 
    As the story progresses, readers become part of a mental struggle where the lines between reality and imagination begin to blur. The desire to remove the shadow becomes a deeper echo of self-acceptance and liberation. 
    This is a story about the voices that remain buried inside us — and sometimes scream so loudly that we stop recognizing ourselves.
