About the book: 2003 / Yulia Petrova is a journalist, blogger, public figure, author of novels and short stories in different languages. As she herself admits, she has always written for as long as she can remember. From articles in popular publications to serious literary works in different genres. The author presents the collection “A Look Through Time” to readers under the pseudonym Peters. The book includes fantastic stories that can be called samples of the pen. Julia depicts the future of humanity with a considerable amount of irony, pointing out the typical shortcomings of human nature. At the same time, he uses simple language that adds color to everything that happens. In the collection the reader will find three works - “Bet at random”, “Auction”, “Game”. The book opens with a story about how humanity, united in the face of a common alien enemy, wins, but quickly forgets about universal friendship and eternal values. Instantly plunged into a new round of civil strife, people have no idea what threat they still have to face. Reading these stories, you can’t help but think: is it really true that what we spend priceless resources on – our own and the planet’s as a whole? Are those false ideals that we blindly strive for all our lives really the highest goal? Or maybe there is still time to reconsider priorities and choose a different path? Until someone makes a safe bet on planet Earth.
