This story is often called one of the most colorful and dangerous adventures of the twentieth century. Slava Kurilov, a professional oceanographer, wanted to see the whole world, but his native country would not let him go beyond its borders. So he jumped off a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean. He swam out. "In a sense, he embodied both Gumilev's reader and his own hero, challenging fate..... Russian intellectuals should not forget their heroes: there are not many of them. Whoever reads this book will never forget the pages in which Slava Kurilov, covered for three days and three nights of a lonely voyage with luminous microorganisms, glides in the Pacific night, with each of his movements raising a pile of fire; here he is, the image of the eternal rebel" (Vasily Aksyonov).
