Young Adam, who has created his own Eden around himself and enjoys eating forbidden fruits, is in no hurry to pay for his sins. Through his fault, an innocent person goes to the gallows, married couples collapse - all these tragedies pass him by just like other dramas of which he becomes a catalyst. For his own pleasure, he breaks everything he touches and is unable to stop. A bitter, deeply pessimistic thriller novel clearly hints that although the sensory perception of the world is always fraught with the moral and physical decay of a person, today there is no need to be afraid of this - others will suffer for your fall.
