About the book: 2020 / Here is the book in front of you. Still closed. Take your time to open it: close your eyes first. Remember your childhood dreams, teenage dreams, good fairy tales: the sail of a ship on the horizon, the shiny scales of a dragon. And now you can open it. This is not just a book - it’s a casket in which our childhood wonders are stored under the cover, as if under glass. In any confrontation there is a third force: humanity and inner light, which we carry within ourselves as children and often forget about it as adults. The pages of Alexey Smekhov’s book are flooded with this human light, soft, like the evening sun, warm, like lake water, into which it’s so good to plunge into and wash away all worries. And let, reader, the third force touch you too.
