This is an automatically translated description

The events described by Vasyl Makhno in his debut collection of short fiction took place in different times and on different continents, but no matter who tells the story - a man in his fifties, an elderly widow, or a young boy - you believe them. After all, the stories are devoid of any authorial generalisations, conclusions or admonitions. These are impartial stories about the fates of completely different people, honest and devoid of pathos. But it is the honesty and apparent simplicity that makes this prose so special, the seemingly familiar and unpretentious details add mystery and keep the reader engaged from the first to the last page.
