“The Third Leg” is the first author’s book by Evgeny Alekhine. Alekhine's style is on the verge of provocation and romance, and the hero is equally daring and naive. Written about peers born in the mid-1980s, this book is a kind of “coming of age bible.” But not those who studied at foreign colleges and are now the golden ratio of the young Russian elite. And those who studied in ordinary post-Soviet schools, grew up in residential areas of big and small cities, for whom the 90s are a vague memory of sad poverty and family problems, and the 2000s became the first hope that their independent life would be special and free .“Children's literature for adults”, this is how the author defines his genre, and this book is a bridge between the life of a child and an adult.
