This is an automatically translated description

From the publisher:

Some of the texts in the book can be defined as memories of the author's childhood and adolescence, but The Carbonite Diary also contains pages devoted to events that took place in the present, when the author taught Ukrainian literature at a vocational school in Donbas. There are no fictional events or characters in the book, the names of some of them have been changed, and the names of geographical locations have been mostly preserved.
