About the book: 1966 / The novel by the young Stavropol writer Georgy Shumarov is dedicated to our days. Five young doctors gathered for an internship at a regional hospital. They live in the same dorm room, spend a lot of time together, have serious conversations and make fun of each other, discuss important issues and make funny jokes. At first glance, they may seem careless, but gradually the reader becomes convinced that these are people with complex and rich peace of mind. All of them are very different, each has their own destiny, their own character, their own dreams for the future. All five manifest themselves in one way or another in their work, in relationships with their beloved girls, and in clashes with inertia, stupidity, dishonesty, and injustice. The author boldly reveals the contradictions in the moral life of his characters, convincingly portrays their complex emotional experiences, and builds a fascinating, dynamically developing plot.
