About the book: 1983 / A new book by the Leningrad writer Maya Danini includes works belonging to the genre of lyrical prose. The moral purity of communication between people and nature is the main theme of many of her works. No matter who she writes about - a scientist, a surgeon, a polar explorer, a Ladoga fisherman, or about herself - the tuning fork of childhood invariably sounds in her works. Using it, the writer seems to be testing the value, talent, and morality of her characters..
