Space Oddity

What can inspire a boy at the age of eighteen to publish a book? In fact, it’s quite simple: the same things that motivated people of all times and nations to create something more that we usually expect from an average person: love for the cause, a little dedication and, most importantly, support of true friends with whom you can share the burdens of the process, and then the triumph of the result. As for the latter, Nikita Petrunenkov, a close friend of author, played an essential role in the creation of this book. Generally speaking he is responsible for the existence of this artistic endeavour. As the author of the book, I express my genuine gratitude to my close friend Nikita for showing altruistic initiative and assistance in the process of development of the book now you hold in your hands. The book — a collection of stories, which reflect the experience and reasoning of a young author. He has been accumulating these stories over his first eighteen years of life.
