Each book is an embodiment, a recreation of the writer’s inner world in the text. The richer this world is, the more closely it comes into contact with the world of other people, the greater the response the work finds. Each talented book is a contribution to the knowledge of the reasons for the success or failure of the life of the human community. This is what makes the book truly interesting. A writer may not set himself a “super-task,” but against his will it is embodied in his work. Whether the author of “The Story of Andrei Petrov” managed to evoke such a response in the reader can only be found out after reading the story, addressed to a wide range of literature lovers.
