The novel brought to the attention of readers is a very eclectic work. The tragic in it coexists with the comic, fantastic elements with realism, very serious with what may seem frivolous. The main motive runs through all this - even the “small” good or evil committed by a person does not pass unnoticed, leaving its mark on his future fate, and sometimes changing not only his life, but also the life around him. And while a person is alive, this possibility of choice and associated changes remains open to him.
