Description

Insightful stories about the sea and human destinies from the famous Soviet and Russian author.

“Among Myths and Reefs” is one of Victor Konecky’s brightest, most lyrical, and witty books. First published in 1972, it instantly became reading for the entire country. Today “Among Myths and Reefs” is rightfully considered a classic of Russian sea prose.

Many of Konecky’s sea stories and novellas are based on personal experience and on meetings with people who accompanied him along life’s path. The sea in these works is an unchanging environment and a space for action, but the author’s focus is always the inner world of a person.

In his conversation with the reader, humor, quiet sadness, and faith in the possibility of salvation in a rapidly changing world always sit side by side. Probably that’s why Konecky’s books have continued for more than half a century to move and captivate readers of different generations.
