Vladimir Alekseev is a representative of the generation of seventies writers whose publishing fate was sad. These writers, born in the difficult forties of the 20th century, for the most part did not manage to fully engage in the literary process, which was ruled by the sixties at that time - they were forced to write “on the table.” Vladimir Alekseev fully tasted the bitterness of lack of recognition. This book, if you like, is a restoration of historical justice. Despite the apparent simplicity of his stories, the author appears to the reader as a subtle lyricist, a deeply sensitive person, a philosopher who reflects on the main problems of our time.
