RESUME:"The Wall" is a dystopian novel set in a post-apocalyptic world. The story follows the main character, Joseph Kavanagh, who is forcibly enlisted into military service to protect the wall that separates his country from the outside enemy. The soldiers are tasked with maintaining security and preventing any infiltration. As Joseph performs his solitary guard duty, he is confronted with isolation, loneliness, and monotony. He reflects on his own existence, his place in this devastated world, and the meaning of his role. The author explores themes such as the human condition, violence, oppression, and resistance. As the story progresses, Joseph is faced with difficult decisions and moral dilemmas that challenge his beliefs and loyalty to the regime. The wall itself becomes a symbol of separation and division, representing both a physical and psychological barrier.
