About the book: year / Lev Lukyanov - satirist writer. His pamphlet stories are devoted to topical issues of international politics. “The Alarm in Dingdong” tells how a group of businessmen from a small European town sells a seaside plot to the Americans, and with it the independence of their country. The plots of L. Lukyanov’s pamphlets and their characters are fictional. But the author leads the reader to the right conclusion: the events narrated could very well turn into reality if we connive with those who seek to start a new world war.
