“Running on Waves” is a novel with a very strong adventurous streak—full of adventures, with a vivid carnival atmosphere that pulls the entire port city into its madness. Through this chain of exciting events runs the central line of confrontation between two worldviews: strict logic and a clear picture of the world are opposed by faith in the impossible—faith in a miracle. And the hero who longs for that impossible, incredible thing, believing in its existence—as in the legend of the girl who runs on waves—ultimately finds happiness with a girl who shares his ideals.
