About the book: 2018 / There is a type of people whose lives are spent on the road: they do not have a home and are constantly trying to leave somewhere. Wandering endlessly around the world, they take on any temporary job, and then, abandoning everything, jump into a freight train and continue on their way. You can always notice them in the crowd: they are distinguished by their faces, dried out beyond their years under the scorching sun, and eyes that have lost their brightness. Popularly, such people are called “defectors.”».
