My book is second edition of Belarus SSR, Minsk , based on its first edition in 1960,
which was been translated into Russian
from the book “Drei Kameraden” ïn German,
by I.Shraiber and L.Yakovenko.
Artwork- Сытченко in Russian

The book is about true, sincere friendship , love,
in much hard, stormy, and complex times for Germany,
in the time period 1919-1933 , known as the Weimar Republic.
The times today, are quite similar for a Man who lives today in a country, one of the many countries on the planet Earth.

Discworld QOTD, from Witches Abroad

Title: Hunting for Easter eggs with Werner Herzog Panel one: Werner goes out looking for eggs saying “I despise this idiotic sanitized ritual, and yet I am unwilling to return home eggless” Panel two: Werner stands before an egg on the ground “The joy of discovery rings hollow against the monumental indifference of the universe” Panel three: Werner carries an egg “what, other than regret, can hatch from this empty chocolate vessel”
