The book by the poet and publicist, officer and teacher combines several creative principles. Before us is not a mosaic, but a panorama, a galaxy of life. The traditions of Russian stories of the 17th century and the world epic, the latest literary trends - everything merged into a single picture. The book is amazing with its hard-won kindness, the joy of life - with the sharpness of the view, with the terrible steepness of the plots. On sharp turns there are lively impulses of feeling and mind. Revelations and spiritual shocks await the reader, from which you emerge with a new thirst for being.
