"The First Step" is the first book in the series "Beyond the Horizon" - a look beyond the horizon of everyday life, into the future of humanity. For many hundreds of years we live and die on planet Earth. For hundreds of years we have been concerned with issues of equality and justice. Are they possible? Or is this just a dream that cannot be realized within the strict framework of the instinct of self-preservation? What if it comes true? When we grab the dream by the tail and take a closer look at what we see, will it turn out to be exactly what everyone craves? The book tells about the fate of a boy in a society that has proclaimed social justice as the basic law. About his growing up, about love and hate, about the secret that he vowed to reveal, and about the dream that will allow humanity to take the first step beyond the horizon of established canons.
