The book “Devoting Yourself to Healing” is a priceless literary and cultural legacy… The author of the book, Boris Abramov, is a doctor from God, a talented writer, and a kind, open person who has preserved warmth of spirit and a touching, sincere attitude toward people. In his book, Boris shares rare stories from his medical service in the mountains—stories of friendship, love, and death. There’s a lot of death in the book because mountaineering is very dangerous… However, the collection is steeped not in tragedy, but in tenderness and heartfelt emotion—a soul ready to burn and to sacrifice itself for a beloved cause. After reading Boris Abramov’s stories, you’ll understand: mountaineering is not only a sport that teaches you to climb mountains. It is a sport that grows people with a capital letter—and there’s no other option.
