Andrey Kurkov. No need to be afraid of heights

The story was written penetrating. It is not just bad for main hero, but the state in which he is difficult to describe in general terms. The "bad" adverb is not present practically in the text, but you understand clearly that it is not just bad, sad and ruefully to him, but even worse.

The girl of hero came under car and lied in coma about two weeks, and she has dead not coming into consciousness. He was unable to enter in resuscitation, because he was not relative and parents of the girl decided don't come at all when heard from a doctor that there is not hope. It isn't fit naturally in a head of Victor (main hero). He remembered often how quietly happy that their union has the safe appearance - even people on the streets don't pay any attention. They are neutral and blankly. Victor was sure that it should happend nothing bad with them.

Then, the possibility occurs to contact with Lenka (girlfriend of hero) with help of special phone card. After several such conversations, Victor decided to ask whether he has a chance to see her. It is not much time and she confirmed the meeting. She said it is necessary to take some ticket on the flight. Also, she asked to take her favourite sweater, because it is cold.

It is necessary to read about everything that occurrs further, because it is difficult enough to describe by words and there is no such necessity. I think that everyone will feel this text and emotions in one's own way.
