As many heads, there are as many universes in these heads - what is true is true. The main character of this book - the shoemaker Khachik - has his own special world, and it is built from amazing bricks - love for his wife Lucy, three restless children, elderly parents, a pair of Italian sandals and... for Don Corleone - a character in the cult novel by Mario Puzo "The Godfather" . Meeting a literary hero irrevocably changes the shoemaker's fate. Don Corleone becomes Khachik's teacher and guide and leads him to wealth and prosperity. There is one thing that providence cannot take into account in the image of the formidable Italian mafia - the historical scenery is changing before our eyes, the USSR is collapsing, and along with it, familiar human relationships. There is another “problem” - Khachik hates violence, he is the most peaceful person on earth. And Don Corleone leads Khachik not only to big money, but also teaches that money is responsibility, and responsibility is the people who believed in you and stood under your banner. And therefore blood flows and flows... In search of peace and quiet, the shoemaker’s family wanders from city to city, from country to country and each time starts life anew...
