The hero’s optimism in this book is so contagious that anyone who reads it is sure to get rid of gloom, people disillusioned in love will regain hope and determination in their actions; partners who have cooled toward each other will flare up with a new desire; the desperate will open their eyes and see the rainbow of life.
And all of them, from the bottom of their hearts, will laugh at the amusing—and sometimes strange—adventures of the unflagging O’Bukhari, a true Don Juan, a man who lives “to the fullest.”
“Interesting—who is this charming man among the ugly ones? Why it’s me—come to the bathhouse to warm up with a birch broom.”
