Caution, Doors Are Closing!

The metro is an amazing place where anything can happen. Every day, taking our familiar route, we might not notice the miracles happening right next to us. But the authors did notice—and turned the reader’s attention to them. The heroes of these stories arrive at unexpected conclusions as they race through electric underground labyrinths. They find things and lose them. They meet and say goodbye. They fall in love, get sad, listen, and hear familiar and unfamiliar voices. They sink into their thoughts, forgetting to get out at the right station—and discovering that they’ve entered another world, completely unfamiliar.

Like the metro itself, this book is filled with simple and understandable, yet so tangled, human stories. And to make the impression complete, LitRes turned the stories of the winners of the contest “Be Careful, Doors Are Closing!” into an audio series about the Moscow Metro. Thanks to the voices of LitRes readers—The Reader and the sounds of the metro—these novellas will come alive, play out in new, unexpected colors, letting you take a side glance at what seems familiar to everyone.
