To get back to one’s youth again, knowing the future—this is the cherished and impossible dream of many and many people. To correct one’s mistakes, make a career, earn a lot of money. Or simply travel the world, marveling at its diversity. And the miracle happened. In his eighth decade of life, having died during winter fishing, the hero finds himself in the body of a tenth-grader. And it seems that all roads are open before him—the very ones he dreamed of on evenings in old age, as coal smoldered in the fireplace. But life is life, and it doesn’t always turn out the way you wanted—even if you know your future and the future of your country.
