About the book: 2021 / Vovka Glukharev, nicknamed the Capercaillie. There lives such a guy, unremarkable, with his mother, without a father. Pupil of the street and basements. Gradual degradation shifts the boundaries of understanding of good and evil. An insatiable craving for alcohol and complete impunity brings him to the breaking point. Without repentance and understanding of what is happening, he stops on the threshold of Hell. There is nowhere else to go. But a chance meeting with a wise old man changes the understanding of the Capercaillie's life. He begins to regret the lost time. Time is what may not be enough for eternal life. Paradox?
