Valentin Petrovich Kataev is one of the classics of Russian literature of the twentieth century. Novelist, playwright, war correspondent, the first editor-in-chief of the magazine "Yunost", he left a significant trace in the national culture. Kataev's most famous work, included in the school program - the story "The White Sail is Lonely" (1936) - tells about growing up Odessa boys Peter and Gavrik, who happened to meet with a sailor from the revolutionary battleship "Potemkin" and participate in the revolution of 1905. The story is largely autobiographical: it is felt, for example, in the unusually vivid pictures of native Odessa Kataevu Kataevu. The continuation of the famous story became three more works, united in the tetralogy "Waves of the Black Sea": Petya and Gavrik meet again - first during the Civil War, and then during the Great Patriotic War, when they become underground fighters in occupied Odessa.
