The Tale of a Real Man

One of the best and most popular works about the Great Patriotic War. A book that has been republished over eighty times in Russian and 39 times abroad. The story of the pilot Alexei Maresyev (in the book, his surname is changed to "Meresev"), who was shot down in a battle with the fascists, sustained serious injuries, underwent the amputation of both legs, and nevertheless found the strength to overcome the consequences of the operation and return to duty, will never lose its relevance. After all, it talks about human courage and perseverance, the ability to fight against difficulties and win, no matter how insurmountable they may be.
