Раньше меня

Dli͡a rebënka: ėto kniga o tom, otkuda i͡a vzi͡alsi͡a, kem i͡a byl do rozhdenii͡a i kak ustroen mir vokrug. Ona vosprinimaetsi͡a kak puteshestvie cherez prirodnye stikhii i prevrashchenii͡a, polnoe obrazov, oshchushcheniĭ i voprosov, kotorye rebënok sam chasto ne mozhet sformulirovatʹ. Dli͡a vzroslogo: ėto filosofskai͡a i pochti meditativnai͡a kniga o rozhdenii soznanii͡a, pami͡ati, vzaimosvi͡azi cheloveka i prirody. Ona mozhet chitatʹsi͡a kak poėticheskoe razmyshlenie o zhizni, proiskhozhdenii lichnosti, ui͡azvimosti tela i chude sushchestvovanii͡a, ob izmenchivosti, oshchushchenii sebi͡a chastʹi͡u chego-to ogromnogo.

For a child: this is a book about where I came from, who I was before I was born, and how the world works around me. It is perceived as a journey through the natural elements and transformations, full of images, sensations and questions that the child himself often cannot formulate. For an adult: this is a philosophical and almost meditative book about the birth of consciousness, memory, and the relationship between man and nature. It can be read as a poetic reflection on life, the origin of personality, the vulnerability of the body and the miracle of existence, about variability, feeling like a part of something huge.
