About the book: 1983 / Who are the prospectors? These are those boys, those girls and those adults who are always coming up with something, inventing, looking for something - on the ground, underground, on the water, underwater, in the air and even in space. The story about explorers is funny, sad and poetic. Its hero is an eccentric doctor at the head of a pioneer detachment who, while on a hiking trip, is looking for a missing painting by an outstanding artist. Will the search for young tourists be crowned with success? You will learn about this by reading the book.
