Behind the past... Essays and stories. Everything done or conceived does not disappear, does not disappear into nowhere, but certainly remains. Not in bins, not in chests under heavy locks. It hovers in the air like a butterfly, waiting for someone to notice it... Each work in the collection explains in allegorical form the principles of the interaction of good and evil in nature and the human soul. The collection is recommended for use in extracurricular reading, natural history, ethics, Russian language and literature lessons.
