Луноход-1. Повести

‘You can only write about what you know,’ insist the masters of the pen, but no one truly knows themselves, which is why the genre of autobiography is more complex than it seems. In the three novellas included in this... book, the utmost candor of Evgeny Alekhin reaches an unprecedented height. Without attempting to justify himself, without the desire to blame the whole world for his successes and failures, the lyrical hero gains an experience from which, like a flower from under the asphalt, a personality emerges. Does this personality know what it is, what awaits the hero — the details and subtleties, the process of gaining the 'self' is important, the ascension to it, which is described on these pages without unnecessary modesty and pretentiousness.
