Readers know Evgeny Voiskunsky as the author of science fiction novels, novellas and short stories written jointly by I. Lukodyanov. But there is another Voiskunsky... This novel is like a group portrait of the generation that grew up to war, a study of the difficult destinies of boys and girls who took on their shoulders the terrible burden of the Leningrad blockade. As in E. Voiskunsky’s beloved novel “Kronstadt,” sailors of the Baltic Fleet act here. Narrating about people at war, the author focuses on acute moral problems that give the novel “It’s a Small World” drama and psychological richness.
