On the night of a large tide

The trilogy of Vladislav Kapivin “On the Night of the Great Tv” was created in the seventies (1970-1978), and, perhaps, even the author himself did not suggest that in the end his first "fantastic experience" would result in a rather voluminous cycle of novels in the depths of the Great Crystal ", connected by the paintings of the future of mankind. The story "The White Ball of the Sailor Wilson" refers precisely to this cycle, logically continuing the topics raised by the author. This is the importance of gaining real friends and the difficulty of choosing the right path, it is an eternal crossroads, from which the planet at any second can irrevocably turn towards the death. Parallel worlds described by Krapivin are just our crooked mirror, which makes us think about the same eternal categories that, for millennia, have artists of all countries. Children in the work of Krapivin are always represented by the warriors of good and light, and even an adult hero in the trilogy "on the night of a large tide", penetrating into the mirror worlds, turns into a teenager, gaining friends and helping them to cope with the sinister misfortunes that have fallen on them.
