The heroes of this new collection are our contemporaries left in the past in spirit, life, and character. "The Guilty Past of the Forest" is a bunch of 19 stories filled with a simple but juicy style, the humor typical of the author and defying censorship, and sometimes with drama. The reader enters the world of people who reject value system fluctuations, where life is in harmony with the rhythm of nature, and the author defines his "red lines" in the system of endlessly shifting, even sometimes disappearing moral markers.
