About the book: year / Before you is the cult book “Illusions” by the American writer Richard Bach, translated by Mike Naumenko, no less a cult personality in our country. This is the same translation that is secretly considered the best among readers and specialists, although it was one of the first made. Its great value, moreover, lies in the fact that Mike did it not for publication, but for himself. And although many may notice that this translation from a purely professional point of view is inferior to others, more famous in Russia (for example, the translation by I. Starykh), the impressive army of R. Bach fans prefers M. Naumenko’s version. This text was scanned from the first typewritten copy of the original translation.
