This book is not a textbook, although both amateurs and professionals will find plenty of useful things in it. And it is not memoirs, even though it covers the period from the late 1970s to the present day.
This book is about our life through the prism of table tennis—a sport its author has devoted more than 40 years to. About victories and defeats, overcoming and weakness, nobility and indifference. And, of course, about outstanding athletes and coaches whom the author was fortunate enough to meet.
