The Guilty River

Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of a quiet summer evening, the narrator chooses solitude over social obligations, preferring to engage in the peculiar hobby of insect-catching. Armed with a brush and a concoction of rum and treacle, he ventures into Fordwitch Wood, a place that has changed during his decade away. As he prepares his trap, painting the tree trunks to attract moths, he reflects on the eerie allure of the night and the challenges of navigating the familiar yet altered landscape. The scene captures a blend of nature, nostalgia, and introspection.
