This is not a novel about a cheerful guy named Vitka unable to find his footing in life. Nor is it about a young geography teacher, Sluzhkin, falling in love with his own student. This is a novel about human resilience in a situation where moral values are not demanded by society. It is a novel about how much courage and humility a person needs to preserve a "living soul," to avoid falling into bitterness or pride, and to live according to conscience and love.
