Running on the Waves

"Sooner or later, in old age or in the prime of life, The Unfulfilled calls us, and we look around, trying to understand where the call came from. Then, having come to ourselves among our world, painfully realizing and cherishing each day, we peer into life, with all our being trying to discern whether The Unfulfilled is beginning to come true?.." — said in the wise book of A. Green "Running on the Waves"...
"To forbid a dream is to not believe in happiness, and to not believe in happiness is to not live," — the bright romantic A. Green loved to repeat. The symbol of a fulfilled dream, a miracle created with one's own hands, became his "Scarlet Sails"...
Fairy tales are needed not only by children. A fairy tale evokes excitement — the source of high human passions, it does not let us calm down, showing us another life that disturbs us. This is its value, and this is the value of the powerful charm of A. Green's stories...
This collection includes both the novel "Running on the Waves," and the fairy tale "Scarlet Sails," and a series of stories written in different years, illustrated by the "most Green-like artist" Savva Brodsky. These drawings were created in the early 1960s for the publication of the six-volume collection of the writer's works.
