Unique specimen. Stories about this and that

For the first time in Russian — seventeen stories proving that two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks is equally talented as a writer. “Mr. Hanks has proven to be a real writer with a capital 'W',” recommends Stephen Fry. “Some stories... in this book will make you laugh out loud, others will touch you to tears.” Hanks' heroes travel to the Moon in a homemade rocket, get stuck in Paris during the promotional tour for the blockbuster “Cassandra Rampaart III: Fear on the Threshold,” repeatedly return to the same day of the “World of Tomorrow” at the New York World’s Fair of 1939, and prefer a vintage typewriter to a computer... “For two years I shot in New York, Berlin, Atlanta, Budapest, and other cities. All this time I was writing,” Hanks himself recounted. “I worked on press tours, in hotels, on airplanes, at home, even on vacation. When my schedule allowed, I wrote from morning until one in the morning — on different typewriters from my collection.”
