You Were Completely Different

You were completely different — eleven stories about how to see and understand another person. How to make a leap beyond one's own existence and still survive. The paths of heroes pass along the Clean Ponds, Moscow embankments, and around Arbat, through the trails of Russian backwoods and an Italian village, subtly transforming into a labyrinth flooded with the ghosts of the past and the unfulfilled. You will never know what will lead you there: a symphony by Shostakovich, a lark on a thawed patch, or simply an embrace.
