The book is a collection of short stories, a novel and a play. "The White Bridge" is a short story, the main hero of which returns
to his native town in search of his childhood experiences. Whereas human relationships always had been valued above everything else, the character of the town had changed. In spite of the
familiar streets and places, the town is already no longer as it was in childhood: perceptions and making contacts are entirely different. In his childhood even spitting from the White
Bridge was a completely different kind of experience from what it is now. Recollections of the past and the faces of acquaintances simultaneously evoke sadness and joy in the main
hero. Read an extract... |
