About the book: 2017 / Volleyball, and the author tried to prove this, like a magnet, it attracts you to itself and does not let go. This is a book of memoirs about the most significant events in world volleyball - the World, European and Olympic Games that took place in the last thirty years, and essays about outstanding players and coaches, Russian and foreign, with whom fate brought the author together over these decades. “Paris never ends” - with these words the great Ernest Hemingway concludes his autobiographical narrative “A Holiday That Is Always With You.” So volleyball continues in the life of the author, who partially borrowed the name from the American writer. Because this game is a holiday for him and for everyone he talks about on these pages.
