For the first time in Russian - seventeen stories proving that two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks is no less talented as a writer. "Mr. Hanks turned out to be a true writer with a capital 'P,'" recommends Stephen Fry. “Some of the stories in this book will make you laugh out loud, others will move you to tears.” Hanks's characters go to the moon in a homemade rocket, get stuck in Paris during the promotional tour of the blockbuster "Cassandra Rampart III: Fear on the Doorstep", return over and over again to the same day of the "World of Tomorrow" at the New York World's Fair of 1939, prefer computer, a vintage typewriter... “For two years I filmed in New York, Berlin, Atlanta, Budapest and other cities. I was writing all this time,” Hanks himself said. — I worked on press tours, in hotels, on planes, at home, even on vacation. When my schedule allowed, I wrote from morning until one in the morning - on various typewriters from my collection."
