The life of American pilot Miki was very simple: he fought for his country, followed the orders of his elders, and dreamed of returning home. His death was also simple. In the summer of 1945, his bomber crashed over Japanese soil. But his soul remained wandering restlessly through the streets of the city, over which he had recently scattered leaflets, encouraging the Japanese to evacuate. Cities where people, though exhausted by the war, continue to love and hope. The cities where Kiyomi, a single mother, and her daughter Ai live, and watching them, he suddenly discovered new feelings in himself. Cities where the inhabitants are the same people as him, make Mika suddenly doubt that his commanders were right. A city called Hiroshima.A story of hatred, followed by compassion, sorrow, impossible love and a second chance in an original historical novel about one of the main tragedies of the Second World War. Ordinary people on different sides of the ruthless world history — an American pilot blinded by hatred, who does not see people in the Japanese, and a young woman desperately trying to survive with her daughter in hunger and the horror of war — learn to see each other and find a common language, despite all their differences, and this unusual bond encourages both to change at the root are views on war and peace, on what duty and conscience are. And what comes first, duty or love. Mysticism and historical drama combine in this brilliant psychological novel that explores human nature and the trauma of war, showing how it affects everyday life, culture and human consciousness. The realities of post—war Japan, shown with love for the country, its history and the world - for the first time in Russian!Azbuka Publishing House publishes world and Russian classics, modern literature, detective stories, thrillers, fantasy and fantasy, adventures, historical prose, applied literature (non-fiction).Our range of books is diverse and includes works by prominent Russian and foreign authors such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Emile Zola, Charles Dickens, as well as lesser-known authors and rare books.We are distinguished by our attention to the quality of the publication, especially to translation, paper, cover design, and illustrations by famous artists, which is why our book series, especially such well-known ones as "Big Books", "Stars of New Fiction", "Big Novel", "ABC Classics", and BigBook, have been "living" for decades and becoming collectibles for aesthetes.Hardcover books are a great choice for a home library, and paperback books are very convenient to take with you.
