The protagonists of this new short story collection are people living next to and among us but at the same time left in the past both spiritually and timewise. The Guilty Past of the Forest is a bunch of 19 stories filled with a simple but sweet style and with the humor typical of the author. The reader steps into the world of people who reject value system fluctuations, where life is in harmony with the rhythm of nature, and the author defines his “red lines” in the system of endlessly shifting, even sometimes disappearing moral markers.
