Както вероятно се досещате, романът на Николай Табаков "Синята гора" няма нищо общо с дърводобива. Той разказва живота. Катери се по стръмнините на собствените ни вълнения, спуска се стремглаво в личните ни бездни, плува във водите на нашето въображение.

Разпознаваме себе си в героите, без колебание вземаме страна, неспокойно отричаме, ... |
