What if the future finds you long before you are ready for it?
The Fortune-Teller is a literary novella about memory, revolution, exile, and the strange ways certain encounters refuse to leave us.
As a young boy growing up in a world shaped by poverty, political unrest, and impossible dreams, the narrator becomes obsessed with books, revolutionaries, and the belief that history can be changed by those brave enough to challenge it. But everything begins with one unforgettable morning-an encounter with an old fortune-teller whose golden teeth, piercing eyes, and cryptic words follow him across decades.
From underground political circles and prison cells to the streets of Athens, Vienna, Marseille, and Montreal, he carries with him the weight of exile, unfinished love, betrayal, and the ghosts of a generation that believed ideas could transform the world.
Part political coming-of-age story, part philosophical meditation, The Fortune-Teller explores the cost of ideology, the burden of memory, and the question that haunts every life: are we shaped by our choices, or by the stories that find us before we understand them?
Written in a deeply human, lyrical voice, this novella will resonate with readers who are drawn to literary fiction, political history, exile literature, and stories where the past never truly stays buried.
