Billy Pilgrim is abducted by aliens, with whom learns lessons about time and life, and becomes able to travel in time, revisiting his whole existence. In this book, the story doesn't follows and chronological order. Thus, depicts with an anxiously proximity the incapacity of one have a quiet life after experiencing the war.
