Times pass. People remain. Not all, just some. A. S. Makarenko remained. With your books, your thoughts, your works. He remained with his passion - to educate a person. And true passion, as we know, is contagious. She does not know the limits of time, the barriers of distance. It penetrates from the heart - into the heart. The book by Mikhail Fonotov is proof of this. This is not a biography of Makarenko, not a monograph about him. This book is a reflection, a book is a questioning, a book is a dialogue through time. About time, about man, his secret. About the mystery of dialogue and the mystery of education. Participate in these secrets, reader. They contain the secret of life itself.
