The author of the famous “Heir from Calcutta,” Robert Shtilmark, even in a work entirely based on documentary material - the story of three escapes from German captivity of a Soviet pilot - is true to himself: the book is a fascinating adventure story, full of colorful descriptions. It reveals little-known events of the Great Patriotic War and will be equally interesting to both adults and young readers. For a wide range of readers. Artist Natalia Melgunova.
