Our century oscillates between the past and the future, between stone and nylon: the past does not retreat, the future captivates us - this is how it has been going on for centuries. Humanity makes discoveries, invents, creates, but lags behind its own achievements. The leap forward made by the 20th century is so great that the gap between the past and the future in people’s minds is felt, perhaps, stronger and more painful than in the old days. The struggle between the past and the future, both in big and small ways, is heartbreaking and deadly.

“Roses on Credit” is a book about the struggle of stupid bourgeois vulgarity with a new world where a person will be worthy of himself. This is a book about difficult love, and the author called it a romance. Some call it a fairy tale, while others call it reality. Let the reader judge for himself whether it is a novel, a fairy tale or a true story.
