Swifts on Ice
19.99 €
A sports tale about the love of hockey and winning over oneself. The book is dedicated to the memory of Ivan Tkachenko, captain of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, who died in 2011 in a plane crash together with the whole team. After Ivan's death it turned out that for several years he had been anonymously providing material assistance to children with serious illnesses. The main character - a 12-year-old disabled boy Egor sees hockey player Ivan Tkachenko in a dream. Egor was next on the list of children to whom Ivan anonymously transferred money for treatment. But a fatal airplane crash prevented this from being completed. Now the boy can see his idol only in his dreams. Ivan supports the boy and shares with him a reserve of will and endurance. The boy begins to train and develop his paralyzed leg, overcoming unbearable pain and despair. Every time it seems to Egor that there is no chance and his leg will not come back to life, he again dreams a saving dream with the participation of his favorite hero... The edition is decorated with drawings by the classic children's book author German Mazurin and is supplemented with photos from the Tkachenko family archive.
