About the book: 1966 / Having tarred a boat called “Duck” and put their backpacks in it, three friends set sail along Chusovaya, the most beautiful river passing through the very heart of the Ural Mountains...Adventures, road meetings, conversations, beautiful nature, episodes from the history of the region, reflections on its present and future - all this will pass before you. You will remember the original Chusovo landscapes, you will make friends with the characters, depicted, albeit with irony, but lovingly. And perhaps you will want to repeat this small but fascinating journey... [Adapted for AlReader]
