Review:
The book is a collection of stories written during the past twenty years and is a glimpse into the spiritual world of a contemporary thinker. Living half of his life in Communistic Russia has expanded Shvartsman s awareness of reality and helped him with the comprehension of modern day s social transmutations. Stories convey his rich experience and thoughts about life, relationships, and politics. Endure as scientist, inventor, writer, and the head of small high-tech company he still finds a time and inspiration for working on a canvas. The author illustrated this and seven others books with reproductions of his remarkable, expressionistic paintings. --Rain Taxi
